Train Station Revitalization Meeting

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

Thank you to the 30 residents who attended last night's meeting at West Park School. Special thanks to Mayor McMullan, Paul Chapman, and Don Rickers for coming and sharing their perspectives and thoughts. It was a great meeting where we were able to discuss the future plans for the St. Catharines Train Station. Please read through the meeting minutes for all the comments and suggestions that were made.
The next step is to meet with the community planning committee to see where to go next. At last night's meeting a few suggestions were made for the fist steps to revitalizing the station. The following suggestions are ideas of projects that could be started now.
- A mural spanning the length of the building welcoming visitors to St. Catharines and more specifically to Western Hill
- A garden going across the length of the station platform. This project has been started but needs a lot more work
- A community garden in the field behind the station
- Putting play equipment into Cameron's Park and fixing up this space to make it more attractive for families to come and play
- Community clean up day for the rail road tracks
What are your thoughts? Are you interested in joining the planning committee? What change would you like to see at the train station? Leave a comment to continue the discussion.
