‘East of the tunnel’ greenspace possibilities

There is an evening pop-up kiosk at Tota Ma’s from 6-8pm for people to come and view the 2 possible scenarios for the projected greenspace east of the tunnel. Maris Jacobs is a project coordinator with PlanIt Consulting:

“At this point we’ve collected quite a bit of data already and feedback throughout the summer about people’s preferences and what we really want to know is what direction are we going: ‘Scenario 1’ or ‘Scenario 2.’ Scenario 1 is heavy on reforestation and greening; Scenario 2 has a lot of that as well, but it also includes a little more recreation: a pathway, some seeding, a little bit more geared towards the user.”

One of the scenarios is a recreation path:

“We’re trying to gauge if people want to go that direction or if they want to just stay in a greening path and/or is is a mix of both. We’re trying to gather enough opinions so that the next phase that we go into after this is to meet with the ‘Working Group’ again, present this new data and they’re going to work on that again to narrow it down to one single scenario based on the feedback.”

They will be hosting some online sessions next week. Following that, they will bring all of the feedback collected back to the Working Group.
