Williamsville Main Street Study To Be Presented February 2

The findings and recommendations of the Williamsville Main Street Study will be presented at a public open house at 3 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2 in Memorial Hall, City Hall, 216 Ontario St.

Later that same evening, the Study goes to the City’s Planning Committee at its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall’s Council Chambers.

The Williamsville Main Street Study, prepared for the City by consultants Brook McIlroy Inc., will also be available for viewing along with supporting technical information at www.cityofkingston.ca/williamsville on Thursday, Jan. 26.

Williamsville’s “Main Street” is the 1.7 km stretch of Princess Street between Division Street and Bath Road/Concession Street. It’s an area of town that now has more than its share of vacant lots and is ripe for revitalization.

The Williamsville Main Street Study is the culmination of a year-long process that has involved residents and stakeholders in a series of open houses and workshops in shaping this Study aimed at bringing new life to this central area of town.

“We are so pleased with the level of engagement and involvement that went into this study. It was clear how much Williamsville residents and stakeholders want to see it thrive. Now, as the area develops, they can look forward to more support for active transportation such as enjoying broadened sidewalks and boulevards, parkettes, more transit and better connections to the revitalized Memorial Centre and Victoria Park,” says Cherie Mills, Manager, Policy Planning.
