From the April 2005 Q PAC Meeting Minutes:

“Guest Speakers

Peter Burch and Kristen Baillie from the City of Vancouver Planning Department, attended the meeting for a presentation of the ARKS (Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy) “Choices Survey”. 

In 2004, the City embarked on a process of gathering public input via workshops involving volunteers in the ARKS neighbourhoods.  The outcome was a series of directions for change and statements on services and structures that the neighbourhood would like to retain.  These results have been translated into a set of questions for greater public input by the “Choices Survey”.  The Survey will be delivered to the ARKS homes in early May, asking for responses by June 10th. 

City Council requires the Planning Dept. to report back to Council each year on the successes and failures of implementing the changes recommended in the Survey process.   As a result, the Survey is a very concrete mechanism for change in the community.  The public’s input was encouraged.

PAC agreed to put notices encouraging families to respond to the survey in the Q newsletter and on the web site.”

An ARKS Notice






A message from the City of Vancouver’s

Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy Community Vision Team…

 

Thanks to all who participated in the Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy (ARKS) Community Vision Program this past year! The Vision Team has been working with the community in workshops to develop some ideas or Directions for a long range plan for the ARKS area.  This May 2005, those Directions will be presented to the entire community in the ARKS Choices Survey.

 

By filling out the Survey you play an important role in shaping the future of the neighbourhood. The Directions that are firmly supported in the Survey will be presented to City Council for endorsement this autumn and become the ARKS Community Vision. The Vision will help guide future community actions and City decisions on capital spending, programs and development in ARKS.
