As an integral part of the process Council and the public will be engaged to provide their input into the development of various aspects of the project. Once the bylaw is adopted any deviations from the bylaw will require a development variance permit.

Road cross sections (enclosed) have been developed based on our current roads. As well the philosophy of being a pedestrian/cyclist friendly community has been incorporated into the process. It is imperative that we ensure that the bylaw is a reflection of our Council/Communities wishes and our vision for the various individual neighbourhoods and their unique characteristics.
