Those attending expressed their opinions on several development ideas through green, yellow and red stickers. Green indicated high support, yellow indicated medium support and red indicated low support.
Participants also had the opportunity to speak to members of the city planning division.
“We would love for more people to come and participate. If you cannot go to an event, my advice would be to participate online. We have an interactive map, and all of the presentation materials are there as well,” said Anna Vickers, city planning division manager.
