    Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement March 13, 2019 calgary.ca | contact 311 03 Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement About this what we heard report This report summarizes the activities and results of engagement for the Centre City Plan Refresh project. It outlines the project, the purpose of the public engagement, the activities we did, and a summary of what we heard at the events. A full list of comments received through public engagement is included in this report. This report does not outline what has happened as a result of the public engagement. That summary will be published at a later date, once all engagement has been completed and project plans have been finalized. Project overview In 2007, based on extensive citizen input, City Council adopted the Centre City Plan, a vision document that describes what the Centre City could look like in 30 years. The Centre City Plan is a coordinated strategy document that pulls together the vision for the Centre City along with strategies and actions relating to land use planning, economic, cultural, and social development, and governance. With the approval of the adoption of the Centre City Plan (CPC2007-049), it included a recommendation for regular monitoring and reporting. In January 2017 the Centre City Plan was identified as one of 28 Council policies to be amended. It’s time to review and refresh the original Centre City Plan. Calgary’s Centre City is the area south of the Bow River (including Prince’s Island Park) from 17th Avenue Southwest and 14th Street Southwest, to the Elbow River.
