Herbert Street boulevard considerations
The streetscape on Herbert will not change a lot, although it will be brought up to new standards. The road will be narrowed so that the new sidewalks can be the required width of 1.5 metres. One possible change we would like your feedback on concerns the boulevard space between the curb and sidewalk. The design drawings (Please note that the technical design drawings document is not accessible. If you require this information in an alternate format, please contact our project team) currently show this space as being finished in concrete, since our experience has been that maintaining attractive natural landscaping in narrow boulevards can be difficult. However, this change is not mandatory and we would like to know whether residents would prefer concrete, or for it to remain as a space for grass or other landscaping (in accordance with city by-laws). This survey will remain open until December 17, 2021.
