What We Heard is now available. The City received a development application for an 18-hole disc golf course at the top of McNiven Place in Airport Heights. Engagement focused on how this informal space is currently used by the community in an effort to determine how all users can effectively and safely use the space should the proposal move forward. Disc Golf is a permitted use within the zone and feedback gathered will inform staff’s recommendation on the development. In total, 87 people provided feedback through this page, or by email or phone. Twenty people attended an open house.
Feedback gathered indicated that the space is currently used for a variety of activities and there are some concerns for implications on the wetlands in the area and a nearby ice skating/frog pond. Residents on McNiven Place expressed concern about traffic and speed on the street as well as the overall condition of the street. More than half of the residents in Airport Heights who completed the online survey were comfortable with the proposed changes, while those who live on McNiven Place were not. All residents who provided feedback through the online survey who did not live in Airport Heights were comfortable with the proposed plan.
