Have your say on waterfront development, high rises downtown, GO station mobility hubs
Don't miss your opportunity to share your input on potential redevelopment of the Waterfront Hotel lands, downtown Burlington and Burlington's three GO station mobility hubs.Five separate studies are currently underway as part of the city's review of our Official Plan. Your voice is needed, as the studies will result in changes to the existing Official Plan to reflect community, staff and council input.A series of public meetings is planned this fall. I encourage residents to attend. You can also share your input via email and via survey (links below). Preliminary concepts and background material from previous meetings is available by following the links below.Links to individual articles on the studies, including My Take, will be included in future articles.
