Public Meeting:
Presentation of Bedford Waterfront Design Study

(Tuesday, June 8, 2010) - Residents and stakeholders are invited to a presentation of the Bedford Waterfront Design Study on June 16. This study provides recommendations to guide the future development of the Bedford Waterfront Area between the Bedford Highway and the Bedford Basin from the Boutilier boat yard property on Shore Drive to the Clearwater Seafoods property on the Bedford Highway.

HRM and Waterfront Development Corporation Limited initiated the design study in March 2009. A steering committee comprised of community residents, property owners and developers was formed to oversee the process and make recommendations to Regional Council. A consulting team was also engaged to assist in the design work.. The preferred design is being presented by the consulting team at the meeting followed by opportunity for questions and comments.

Date:       Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Time:       7 p.m.
Location: Basinview Drive Community School Cafeteria
                273 Basinview Drive, Bedford

The presentation will be available for viewing on halifax.ca the following day. Feedback on the study can be provided via email to morganp@halifax.ca until Wednesday, July 7.

Bedford Waterfront was one of the first communities to create a Community Vision through Vision HRM. The design study represents a culmination of community ideas and input brought forward during public consultation opportunities since 2007.
