Mill Street Parkette Construction |
|
The Town is undertaking the consultation, design and construction of a new parkette to strengthen the community's access to quality parkland as well as promote active living in healthy, safe, inclusive, and sustainable environments.
Located at the corner of Mill Street and McNabb Street, just northeast of downtown Georgetown the 0.63 hectare site is divided into two areas by Silver Creek. The proposed area for the parkette is on the east side of the creek and is currently covered in gravel and being used as an informal parking lot. We're planning to transform the space at 14 Mill Street into a high quality parkette.
The Town invites you to take the preliminary survey to provide feedback and direction on the elements and activities that you would like to have included as part of the development of the new parkette in your neigbourhood.
