Municipal officials are seeking public input on the future look of Erieau Boulevard.
The boulevard, stretching along Mariners Road and Ross Lane, is used for both passive recreation and special events. In late 2023, the municipality identified the need for a comprehensive site infrastructure and tree management plan for the area to help guide future site development.
Input is needed for a tree management plan and a conceptual site plan.
“The site plan provides an opportunity to ensure that future development is intentional and meets the needs of the community,” said Ian Clark, manager of parks, recreation and cemeteries for the municipality, in a media release. “It will play a crucial role in communicating a consistent and shared vision for the space.”
In July of 2024, a community workshop was held where key issues were identified. Parking, traffic control, pedestrian safety and accessibility were some of the main items for consideration in the plan.
The plans will be presented to council in the near future and will be used to inform decisions on future capital allocations and ongoing management.
The public is encouraged to share their comments on the concept site plan by June 27 at www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/erieau-blvd.
