Update: Shelter Location

After receiving significant neighbourhoood feedback through two stages of consultation, and after fully considering the individual opportunities and constraints of each location, Option A on the east side of the park has been selected for the location of the new shelter.

This decision is consistent with the majority sentiment of those who participated through the engagement process and also provides the city with opportunity to position the shelter in a location that allows the greatest separation and screening from adjacent residents. Furthermore, Option A does not require the removal of existing trees and will also allow the City to enhance an otherwise underused area of the park by reducing some of the hard surfacing, increasing the amount of functional open space for passive recreation uses, improving the landscaping and providing additional tree planting.
