Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment |
Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment – Conceptual DesignWe are excited to initiate this project and recognize the importance of Bobcaygeon Beach Park redesign to the community. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project. The conceptual design includes innovative approaches and progressive technologies that are sustainable and operationally feasible. All design elements will meet or exceed Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation Guidelines and Design of Public Spaces Standards. The design has a focus on water recreation and will facilitate use by various water craft user groups including activities such as rowing, kayaking, canoeing and motorized water craft. The design incorporates outdoor pavilions, docking to provide access to the Big Bob Channel, washroom facilities to service all park users, playground structures, water view walking paths and shoreline improvements with a focus on connection to all park features. The overall design fosters a water play focus. Public input is a key component to the design development. The first Public Open House took place on Thursday, June 21, 2018. The meeting was an opportunity for community members to share thoughts, concerns and ideas directly with the project team. Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment Final Public Open House
The Final Public Open House for the Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment took place on Thursday, December 6, 2018 at the Bobcaygeon Service Centre. Approximately 80 individuals attended this meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to share the revised concept design with the public. The initial conceptual design has been revised based on public feedback and comments received at the June 21, 2018 Public Open House and online survey. The revised design was presented during this meeting. The design continues to have a focus on water recreation and community use by incorporating outdoor gathering spaces, multi-use pathways, playground structures, riparian shoreline improvements and boat docking. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project. The current conceptual design and report will be presented to Council. A project funding request has been included in the 2019 Capital Budget Program, and if approved, an RFP will be prepared in order to award the provision of the final design development and construction management services. It is anticipated that on-site work will begin in the Fall of 2019. Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment Conceptual Design - December 2018The new conceptual design encompasses changes received based on feedback from the previously held Public Open House.

In December 2017 a significant number of the existing Lilac shrubs were dug and transported to a local nursery where the shrubs will be cared for during the initial construction phase, the Lilac shrubs will be will replanted at the Park during the final phases of construction in 2019. Any remaining Lilac shrubs that were not transported off site will be relocated within the Park in April 2018. January 2019 – Construction UpdateThe Contractor is scheduled to remobilize in February to remove surplus topsoil off site. Site conditions require frost to allow trucks to access freely. Importation of engineered fill will follow topsoil removals in isolated areas to allow for work to commence in early Spring 2019. November 2018 - Construction UpdateOperations Underway Logie Street Park The Logie Street Park Construction project has gone through a competitive procurement process and has been awarded to a local contractor, Carchidi Excavating. The contractor mobilized to site the week of October 29, 2018 and began operations.
The scheduled activities for this Fall are outlined blow, all works are weather dependent and inclement weather could delay operations:

City-wide
Strategic Community Improvement Plan (CIP) |
|
The City's Strategic Community Improvement Plan (CIP) has passed the appeal phase! A Public Meeting was held on June 4, 2018 to receive feedback on the Draft CIP. Feedback was received from many groups including the Fenelon Falls Downtown Revitalization Working Group, Municipal Heritage Committee, Peterborough and The Kawarthas Home Builders Association, Community Futures Development Corporation, the Lindsay Downtown BIA, Fenelon Forward, Service Groups, City business owners and developers, Health Unit and other community partners. Staff returned to the Planning Advisory Committee on August 1st with a revised CIP. On August 14, 2018, Council adopted the CIP. The Council decision was followed by a statutory 20-day appeal period that concluded on September 12th, 2018 with no appeals. The CIP establishes financial incentive programs to encourage repairs and improvements to commercial and mixed-use properties, restoration of heritage buildings, creation of or retrofits to affordable rental housing in mixed-use buildings, and downtown mainstreet revitalization and enhancements. Improvements made through the CIP will benefit all residents and visitors of Kawartha Lakes by creating more vibrant and accessible downtown and main street areas. Property and business owners across Kawartha Lakes are eligible for the CIP program. While the CIP Project Area By-law applies City-wide, some additional financial incentives are available for property and business owners in the downtown areas that participated in the Downtown Revitalization programs. If you are a commercial or mixed-use building owner, business owner, or the owner of a designated residential property within Kawartha Lakes, you may be eligible for the loans and grants available through the CIP. These financial programs can help improve building functionality and general aesthetics, contributing to an improved experience for customers. The first round of application intake is scheduled to commence fall 2018 with the first round of successful projects announced in Winter 2019. Additional information regarding the application process will be posted closer to the intake date. For more information, please contact: Carlie Arbour, Economic Development Officer - Community 180 Kent Street West, Lindsay, ON K9V 2Y6 705-324-9411 extension 1396
