Councillor Johnson announces the launch of her new project, Reimagining Robertson Road. The goal of this project is to develop a community-informed vision for transforming Bells Corners into the “Village in the Greenbelt” that it strives to be – one with a vibrant main street, welcoming public spaces, and good connections within and beyond the community.
As an important stakeholder in the Bells Corners community, we wanted to reach out personally to share about the Robertson Road Walkshop kick-off event for the Reimagining Robertson Road project. We will be hosting a Robertson Road ‘Walkshop’ on Saturday, June 28th starting at 11 AM. Mobycon, our consultants for this project, will be leading a walking-based workshop or ‘Walkshop’ along Robertson Road to learn more about resident priorities and dreams for this road. The Walkshop will help provide essential community-grounded feedback and perspectives that will support next steps in our community consultation processes.
Participants of the Walkshop will be led on a 1 – 1.5 km walk along Robertson Road. The walk should take roughly 60 to 90 minutes, and will be done at a low pace, incorporating various stops to rest and chat. The route chosen will also be wheelchair accessible.
As this is just the launch of the Reimagining Robertson Road project, there will be many opportunities created in the coming months to connect and collect more feedback and ideas from community members on their experiences of Robertson Road. We wanted to share this with you personally, as we would love to have members of your organization present at the event, and your organization’s perspective present as part of this project more broadly.
