Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - Community Invited to Harrow Streetscape Open House

Submitted by cdanby on

Residents in Harrow Centre and beyond can have their say on the upcoming streetscape project during an Open House on Thursday, June 28.

The event, which will be hosted from 7:00 to 8:30pm at the Harrow and Colchester South Community Centre, will give community members the chance to learn about, and provide feedback on, the planned streetscape project.

The project aims to revamp the physical characteristics of sidewalks and public rights of way on King and parts of Queen and McAfee Streets in Harrow Centre. The project will also include a comprehensive theme which reflects the community’s past, present, and future.

“This event is the perfect chance for residents to have a say in how their downtown and community look for years to come,” explained Nelson Silveira, Economic Development Officer. “We want the streetscape project to reflect all that Harrow Centre has to offer, and there’s no better way to achieve that goal than through the ideas and experiences of the people who live there.”

The effort is being led by Stempski Kelly Associates Inc., the consulting firm which completed the Essex Centre streetscape plan in 2014.

The firm will work closely with the community, a steering committee of locally active business representatives, and Town of Essex staff to prepare a phasing and costing plan, as well as set priorities for the project.

“This is the start of a long-term project which will have an impact on the community for decades to come,” Silveira added. “We’re excited to hear from our residents and hope they will join us throughout the process.”
