November 2016: How Do You...Imagine Idylwyld?

Imagine Idylwyld is currently in its first phase of engagement. The project team along with the consultant have conducted a review of the project study area and background material. Now it is time to check in with stakeholders and the public to ask the question: "How Do You Imagine Idylwyld?"

A stakeholder workshop was held on November 15, 2016 where project information was presented to nearby land owners, businesses, agencies and key civic staff. Interactive stations were also set up to obtain stakeholder input on corridor challenges and opportunities.

An online survey is now available until December 8, 2016! Let us know what your priorities are for Idylwyld. Do you have ideas for land use, design or traffic improvements in the study area? We’d like to hear from your thoughts on challenges and opportunities facing Idylwyld Drive.

Your input and feedback from this phase of engagement will be used to prepare a vision for the corridor and inform the next stages of the project. Once stakeholder and public input has been collected, the consultant will combine that information with their analysis of the corridor. From there, the consultant will author a detailed report on the challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed in the redesign of the corridor. That report, as well as a summary of the public and stakeholder input received in from this phase, will be posted on this website once it is available. Stay up to date on Imagine Idylwyld by signing up for e-updates.

December 2016: We asked...you answered!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the first round of engagement for Imagine Idylwyld! We heard from over 2,800 residents and stakeholders in the span of three weeks. Your input will be used to prepare the vision for the corridor and to help inform the findings of the technical analysis.

At this time, the consultant is compiling and analyzing the public input received. They will then combine the engagement results with their technical analysis of the corridor to produce a detailed assessment of the opportunities and challenges facing the study area. Reports summarizing their assessment and the engagement results will be posted on our website early in the new year. Be sure to subscribe to our e-updates to be notified when these reports are available.

In early 2017, we will be checking back in with stakeholders to present key findings and to begin identifying preliminary directions for the new design of the corridor. Additional broad public engagement on the corridor alternatives will also take place in the first quarter of 2017.
