Over 600 people attended over three evenings. The route in the north is currently being optimized, which may include the recommendation to remove 9 Avenue and 72 Avenue stations.
MacDonald Avenue alignment – Administration continues to explore the potential MacDonald Avenue alignment. “What we Heard” and “FAQ” documents are now available online and were sent out to stakeholders to begin to address questions raised by the residents of Ramsay. A public engagement program is being developed and will be initiated the coming weeks.
Property letters – Letters were sent to property owners or building managers on 12 Avenue S, between 2 Street SW and 4 Street SE to request technical drawings of the buildings.
