A good turnout for the final public meeting on the Highway 3 Streetscape Project for Chester. Warden Alan Webber says about 75 to 80 people attended the session September 22nd at the Chester Legion. He says the consultant's draft report was well received as a good starting point but there were some very specific concerns that were raised. Webber says they're at the stage now where the consultants will go back, redraft based on the public comments, take it back to the Committee in its final draft form for recommendations. Webber says he anticipates with some modifications, it will be recommended to Council to move forward with the proposal on the streetscape study.
The idea behind the streetscape project is to shift the perceptions of the area from a highway thorough the community to an extension of the Village.
