The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is inviting public comment on the Tree Management Plan and Conceptual Site Plan for the Erieau Boulevard.
Erieau Boulevard, stretching along Mariners Road and Ross Lane, is used for both passive recreation and special events.
In late 2023, the Municipality identified the need for a comprehensive site infrastructure and tree management plan for the area to help guide future site development.
“The site plan provides an opportunity to ensure that future development is intentional and meets the needs of the community,” said Ian Clark, Manager, Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries, in a press release.
“It will play a crucial role in communicating a consistent and shared vision for the space.”
In July of 2024, a community workshop was held where key issues were identified.
Parking, traffic control, pedestrian safety and accessibility were some of the main items for consideration in the plan.
The plans will be presented to Council in the near future and will be used to inform decisions on future capital allocations and ongoing management.
The public is encouraged to share their comment on the concept site plan by June 27, 2025, at www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/erieau-blvd
