Consultation has concluded, the engagement report is available online.
Williamsville is a historic, growing and active neighbourhood that is located between downtown and central Kingston. A key part of what contributes to its character is the high use of active modes of transportation, such as walking or biking. Recently we carried out some public engagement on a transportation study in Williamsville. During that engagement, we heard that community members wanted to see infrastructure built to support active travel along commonly used routes in the neighbourhood. One of the big themes brought forward was the "green street" concept.
Green streets are intended to be more pedestrian-focused with more greenery, rest areas and space to increase pedestrian comfort. They also include traffic calming measures to slow down traffic.These streets have more space dedicated to the boulevard, providing space for trees that provide more shade in the summer. These features work together to encourage more active travel like walking or biking.
What does a green street mean to you?
We're trying to better understand what Williamsville community members envision when thinking about green streets.
A public open house took place on Oct. 26 from 6 - 8 p.m. The informational materials from that event can be viewed online. A survey was conducted during the Oct. 26 in-person open house, for those who were unable to attend but wanted to leave feedback an online version was accessible until Nov. 17
