Change is coming for the downtown

Later this summer the City will be seeking input from the public on what’s being proposed for the interior and exterior of the new pool.

She says, once the Four Seasons Pool and Fire Hall #1 are re-built, the older versions will be demolished. And, again, that’s where the City seeks public input.

“We actually have some opportunity here to start thinking about how people are going to see themselves using the space now and into the future. So we want to start having that conversation. She asks if people want more walking connectivity. There is a transit interchange downtown, and so on.

Finally, in a bid to increase health and safety in the downtown, the City is going to pilot a storage program. “One of the issues that we started to learn about is that, sometimes, our homeless population can’t or won’t access services because they have nowhere to put their belongings,” explains Chris Bone, Manager of Social Planning.

“We’ve learned from some other municipalities that there is some value in creating a storage option.”

Two locations have been identified, one with outside storage and the other with interior access to better store bikes.
