Parkette at King/Queen Triangle

This idea suggests to turn the small green space at the intersection of King Street, Queen Street and River Street into an official parkette.

Parks, Forestry, and Recreation has reviewed this idea and estimate that the project will cost approximately $300,000 including materials and labour.

Original Description:

I propose turning the small green space at the intersections of King St, Queen St, and River St into an official park or parkette. I think the park should be named, and that graffiti on the bridge walls cleaned up; under the bridge could use a clean up, too. Currently this space is under-utilized and I think it has some potential to be more interesting. It could be nicer.

Note: This is one idea which can be scoped in a range of cost brackets, with associated investments ranging from large to very significant. It is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue with the Councillor’s office to qualify and shape this idea further as design and cost input is received from staff experts at the City, and prior to it being submitted for voting.
