Welcome to the Corridor Priorities survey.
Your feedback will be considered when developing over-arching goals and priorities for community development and intensification along Essa Road & Bradford Street.
Six draft priority statements have been created using feedback received by May 1, 2018, here and at the in-person workshops. How would you prioritize each statement as it relates to Essa Road and Bradford Street?
The following artist renderings compare current conditions at various locations along Essa Road with one possible scenario of what a mixed-use intensification development could look like in that location.
Move the slider across each image and watch it transform. Share what you think about the look and feel of these potential transformations in the box below each image.
Note: These images are illustrative artist renderings meant to convey the possibilities of mixed-use intensification. They do not represent any current or planned development application(s) and are only intended to give context in order to gather public feedback on the potential future look and feel of the corridor.
