- Waterloo Nov 2011 Community Design Workshop Report - HNSW Masterplan
- The report from the November 2011 Community Design Workshops will be used as one of the inputs to the March 2012 design workshops. Here you can download that report. The ideas generated by the workshops will be used to formulate and refine concepts resulting in preferred concepts which will identify the proposed location for new shops and facilities, new and upgraded streets, paths and open spaces, and new residential buildings. The refined concepts will form the basis of the structure plan within the Preliminary Masterplan and will be presented to the community in March 2012. This report has a summary map of the common ideas that gives some indication of where HNSW say participants want facilities to go. This file is a large 8MB PDF.
