Wednesday is the deadline to have your say on the future of the Blakeburn Lagoons in Port Coquitlam.
This week, more than 140 people attended an open house to look at two city concepts for the environmentally sensitive area behind Blakeburn elementary.
The municipality is considering development of a "people's park" that would include access to the lagoon water or a "nature park" that would upgrade the wildlife habitat but still allow some public amenities.
Residents who were unable to give their feedback at the May 11 open house can fill out an online survey at portcoquitlam.ca/blakeburn before May 18.
Among the poll questions is whether residents would want to include a space near the lagoons to honour the women murdered by serial killer Robert Pickton.
In March, Jami Watson Roberts told The Tri-City News she's looking for the city to recognize the women who died on the nearby farm, with a permanent healing garden.
The Blakeburn Lagoons is a 27-acre site with two decommissioned waste settling ponds that have been off-limits to the public since 1978. Last year, a $1.9-million grant from the federal and provincial governments allowed the city to move forward with the rehabilitation project.
The new park is expected to be open late next year.
