Town Hall Minutes

Thursday, December 1, 2011

I want to thank everyone for coming out to the Town Hall at West Park Secondary School. Even though the weather wasn't on our side we still managed to get some great suggestions for positive changes in Western Hill. I have posted the comments and suggestions made by the community for everyone to view. For full meeting minutes please click here.


- Clean up along Twelve Mile Creek

-Oak Hill gardens is historical and needs to be maintained

- Keep West Park School Open

-Keep West Park Pool open- constantly used by people of all ages

-More activities for kids to do in the community

-A walkable community is something that should always be kept in mind when developing in Western Hill

-Sidewalk along Great Western Street down to the Train Station

-Open up a satellite museum in the West End and involved Rodman Hall

-Create a welcome kiosk at the train station that highlights areas of St. Catharines

-Have a viewing platform on the Western Hill side of the new Burgoyne Bridge

-Something needs to be done with the derelict buildings and vacant lots along St. Paul Street West. They are eyesores in the community.

- Banners on new bridge will create noise from the West end winds. It has happened before and they had to be removed.

Thank you again for participating and sharing ideas for the community. Again if you would like to see the full meeting minutes then click here.
