Burlington
What's your vision of a healthy downtown? The City of Burlington is reviewing its plan for the downtown core and is looking to the community for ideas and suggestions.
Beginning in February 2012 we will be posting surveys and talking to community groups about downtown. This will help to know what issues the community wants to focus on. In April through to June, we'll be providing many different opportunities for the community to talk about Downtown Burlington and to get involved in shaping the vision.
