This is the last week with no action at City Hall. Agenda Review Committee meetings will begin again on August 8th and Council will return from vacation on August 21st.
While you’re eagerly waiting for Council to resume, there are a number of public engagements you can take part in. Today is the last day to provide feedback on the Griesbach Battalion Square rezoning. The proposal would rezone 2775 Sir Arthur Currie Way NW to allow for a mixed-use development. It would include a new six-storey residential building that may also contain commercial uses, and would repurpose the William Griesbach Training Centre to accommodate commercial uses. A rendering, more information, and the feedback form are available online.
Feedback is being accepted until Wednesday to see if certain neighbourhoods are good candidates for the Street Lab program. When a street safety concern is noted in a community, the City gathers information to determine whether or not a Street Lab should be explored in that community. Street Labs allow for the neighbourhood and community to work together to trial traffic calming measures and come up with creative ways to address speeding and other unsafe driving behaviours. More information on the Street Lab program is available online, as are feedback opportunities for the communities of Allard, Orchards at Ellerslie, and Webber Greens.
