Public park space is a key element of Concert’s overall plan
for making Harbourside an enviable place to live, work and enjoy. As such,
Concert is dedicating an additional acre to be used as public park space for
the community.
Conceptual renderings depicting this space have been included
in Concert’s rezoning application, but these are for visualization purposes
only. Should Concert’s rezoning application be approved at the upcoming Public
Hearing on April 1, one of the next steps will be a Concert-funded, City-led
public parks process designed to engage
the community in determining how the public park space adjacent to the
development should be programmed.
The City will be inviting the community to come and
participate in a variety of public events aimed at teasing out what they would
like to see. The park space will be shaped through the community feedback
gathered over the course of this comprehensive community consultation process.
City staff will use this feedback in the programming of the park space.
Concert has set aside an allowance to fund the City-led
process, the park’s design based on community feedback and ultimately, the
construction of the space.
ONE acre????? You have to be joking - I live on an acre .... and the existing public land will surely be taken over by residents of the buildings
ReplyDeleteTo clarify, the one acre is simply in addition to the existing public parks space that Concert had previously dedicated to the City with the development - Kings Mill Walk. The cumulative park space would be open and inclusive to all, including visitors as well as those who live and work at Harbourside.
