Last Stage of Public Consultation for River Valley Parks Master Plan Process

Apr 4, 2016 | 12:53 PM

LETHBRIDGE – Residents will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on what they feel is crucial for the preservation and usage of the City’s river valley.

This week 400 residents will be randomly selected to take part in a telephone poll to aid in the City’s final stage of public consultation to set up a long term vision that will guide how the river valley is used.

As part of the City of Lethbridge’s River Valley Parks Master Plan process, information has been gathered at public engagement sessions, stake holder meetings and online surveys over the last year.

Project manager Ryan Carriere, said that the feedback has been used to identify themes of wants and needs for residents.

“We have the information for amenities and projects and are now in the prioritizing process. The survey will break down into five themes: natural environment and sustainability, accessibility and safety, connectivity and pathways, amenities, facilities and cultural heritage grouped as one category and stewardship,” Carriere said.
