This meeting is part of a larger study taken on by the city to define the future development character and opportunities for a City-owned 5-acre site within Bonanza Park. Highlights to be presented from the Small Area Plan and the 5-Acre Site Feasibility:

Small Area Plan Key Findings

• Moving through the study area should be safer and more intuitive. Transportation improvements should focus on wide streets and unsafe intersections.
• The Study Area lacks walkable and bikeable connections. Improving connectivity to the rail trail and addressing sidewalk gaps are a priority.
• Bonanza Park is the right place for density and building height. As the area redevelops, mixed use buildings should embrace walkable streets.
• Bonanza Park needs more affordable and workforce housing. For there to be a critical mass, there needs to be a strong resident base in the area.

Feasibility Study Key Findings

• Affordable Housing should be a focus.The site has the opportunity to help reach citywide affordable housing goals, and help house residents who would otherwise be priced out of the community.
• Programming and activation will help make this a community gathering space. The site should be welcoming to Parkites of all backgrounds through festivals, events, and pop-up engagements.
• Parkites are ready for action and to see the site being redeveloped. The community is asking for this site’s potential to be finally realized and leveraged to help the community.

A Bonanza Park Neighbourhood Tour will proceed the meeting and interested parties can meet at 1:30 p.m. at the City’s five-acre site at the intersection of Kearns and Bonanza to explore the neighborhood and hear about projects planned for the area. The tour will last roughly two hours.
