Richmond Hill – Richmond Hill has launched two new ways for residents to get involved in planning the city’s future through the Official Plan Update project, City Plan 2041.
An online survey is available now until March 4. The City is asking residents to share their thoughts on the City’s proposed vision and help plan the evolution of Richmond Hill’s parks, housing, recreation, transportation and more, to reflect the needs and interests of our growing community.
When updating the Official Plan, we want to understand which places and spaces the community enjoys today. We’re asking residents, workers, and visitors to drop a virtual pin on the “My Favourite Places” interactive map and tell us your favourite places in the city throughout the duration of the Official Plan Update process. Your comments will help shape our communities and inform our future direction.
These new engagement initiatives follow the City Plan 2041 Virtual Open House held on February 18. At the well-attended session, over 200 participants heard about Richmond Hill’s opportunities and potential from award-winning visionary urban planner, David Dixon and learned about the proposed vision for the city to 2041 and balancing growth and green. Those who missed the meeting are welcome to view the recording at RichmondHill.ca/OPUpdate.
Based on the emerging vision on which staff are seeking feedback, City Plan 2041 aims to establish Richmond Hill as the centre piece of York Region and one of the GTA’s most prominent, complete community. Residents can subscribe to RichmondHill.ca/OPUpdate to stay up-to-date and involved throughout the process.
