As the North Fraser Drive Landing Plan area is often just a through-point for visitors, a potential gateway structure would signify the entrance into the neighbourhood and establish a “sense of arrival” – creating an area that is vital to economic growth by encouraging residents and tourists to stay. Streetscape improvements to Elliott Street could significantly improve the pedestrian experience, increase the visual appeal of the streetscape and enhance the connectivity and accessibility of the Plan area drawing residents and tourists to shops and the riverfront – a major destination element. Elliott Street Enhancements!
The North Fraser Drive Landing Plan Area is comprised of approximately 11 hectares of land that is situated in the historic West Village, west of the Downtown Core of Quesnel. The Plan area is located directly adjacent to the Fraser River and contains the Riverfront Trail which provides accessible trails to various land uses and connectivity throughout the West Village.
Project background
In January 2022, on behalf of the City of Quesnel, L&M Engineering began the process of creating a Revitalization Plan for the North Fraser Drive Landing Plan area. This Plan intends to serve as a long-range blueprint for encouraging investment, promoting economic development, and improving the quality of life for the North Fraser Drive Landing Neighbourhood.
Why are we doing this?
Council’s vision for this neighbourhood is to create a vibrant, inclusive and culturally rich area. We are going to take a deep dive into bringing investment back into this area with consideration of the floodplain.
How do we achieve that?
With your help and input on what is currently working and is not working in this neighbourhood and your vision on what you would like to see here in the future!
