The focus of this engagement was to identify driveway access needs, parking and mobility considerations, and any other special requirements such as accessibility, deliveries, or property protection in the East Flats neighbourhood of Paris.
A quick look at participation:
- 331 visits to the Engage project page
- 16 feedback forms submitted
- 8 additional questions or comments received
- 40 residents attended the November 24 Open House
Here is a brief summary of what we heard:
- Clear and early communication about driveway closures and timelines are requested
- Due to limited space, a plan for temporary parking is needed
- Assurance that mature trees and private property will be protected
- Support for residents with mobility or health related needs is important
- Safe access for children walking to school and for delivery and service vehicles is required
What’s next
Staff will incorporate the feedback we received into construction planning and post maps and other construction materials before the project begins in the spring.
We work directly with residents who identified unique accessibility or property concerns and continue to share updates on this page as timelines are confirmed to reduce disruption and address concerns quickly.
