Community invited to comment on Region’s DRAFT Community Building Strategy

Waterloo Region – The Region of Waterloo invites the community to attend a series of public open houses to review and comment on the DRAFT Community Building Strategy (CBS).

The Strategy has been prepared over the last year in partnership with the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo with input from stakeholders and community members. It is a flexible framework that will guide detailed station area planning to help shape how our community will be planned and built around future rapid transit stations and throughout the Central Transit Corridor.

Included in the document are: a more focused vision for the Central Transit Corridor and how it will grow and change as the Region’s rapid transit system is implemented; snapshots of the rapid transit station areas that highlight current conditions and how each station could influence the surrounding community; 69 place-specific initiatives where unique opportunities exist for investment and development; and recommended steps for implementing the Community Building Strategy.

The open houses will take place between 4 and 7 p.m., with a presentation at 5 p.m. and roundtable discussions at 5:30 p.m.:
