The city of Coquitlam is looking for input on its Town Centre Park master plan, a document that will guide the development and management of the popular amenity for the next 15 to 20 years.
An online survey is currently available on the city’s website (coquitlam.ca/tcpmp) and staff will be holding an information session on (Sept. 16) between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. at Town Centre Park plaza (Trevor Wingrove Way).
With 90,000 new residents expected to move into the municipality in the next three decades, a city staff report stated that use of the park is expected to increase significantly. The influx of visitors will put more demands on amenities, according to the document, something the master plan, which was last updated in 1998, intends to address.
“This population growth, along with the Evergreen Line terminus station located adjacent to the [Town Centre Park] is expected to substantially increase the number of park visitors and users,” the report states.
Feedback from residents at the information session and those who participate in the online survey will be incorporated into the final document.
Last May, the city spent $75,000 of bonus density money to hire a consultant to help initiate the master plan process. Since then, an inventory of assets has been conducted along with site tours and meetings with stakeholders.
