A news update from the Village of Pemberton.
---------------------
The Village of Pemberton is committed to assisting
with the improvement of the functioning and aesthetics of the
downtown core.
In 2009, based on a series of community workshops and
questionnaires, the Village prepared the Downtown Enhancement
Strategy which identified an overarching approach for improvements
in the area (please let me know if you need a copy). The Strategy
then recommended that the community further define certain works
necessary to facilitate the enhancement of the public domain
including designated parking areas, pedestrian right of ways,
public open spaces and gathering areas as well as park
improvements. The Village has also been exploring funding
opportunities to help finance the required works which will then be
incorporated into the implementation plan for the Downtown
Enhancement Strategy.
As part of the program to enhance the opens spaces within the
downtown, a consultant has been hired to assist in preparing the
Frontier Street Master Plan. The lands bounded by Camus Street, the
CN Rail line, Pioneer Park and Frontier Street have particular
potential: first, being a gateway to the downtown; and second
that for the most part the lands are owned by the Village. The
Frontier Street Master Plan directions are intended to be
incorporated into the works and funding programs of the Downtown
Enhancement Strategy.
The draft Frontier Master Plan was prepared from exercises
undertaken with the community on July 14th and 15th. The draft is
now being referred to residents, property owners and community
organizations for further comment.
Download a The Village would greatly appreciate it if you could complete
the form and/or provide additional comments. The deadline for
submissions is September 17, 2010. Please let us know if that
deadline is not achievable. Hard copies are also available from the
Development Services Department.
