Mount Pearl City Centre Renewal Plan
Engagement relating to this project is now complete! Thank you for contributing to the vision for our city centre. Details about the plan can be found at findyourcentre.ca!
The City Centre area is Mount Pearl’s heart and contributes to its economic prosperity, sense of place, and quality of life.
Over the next several months, we will be undertaking a comprehensive planning project called Find Your Centre that will aim to develop a long-term, holistic vision for the city centre to guide its future growth for generations to come.
The vision for the city centre is ours to craft collectively, so we need your help. A plan of this nature cannot be developed without input from those that know our community best, those that call it home. We want to hear your ideas and your vision for the city centre, to ensure that we prioritize the right projects and that we are headed in the right direction. Your input will strongly inform the project and result in a shared vision for the future of our city.

Waterford River
about 4 years agoWe're fortunate to have the incredible Waterford River run through our city centre. Is there something we could do to make this area even better? Would you like to see more opportunities to do something along the riverfront? Is there an opportunity for a business, shopping or a public space? Can we connect the River to Centennial Square to expand the city core? Would this support economic growth and sustainability, improve quality of life for residents, and boost tourist activity in the region?
zrbakerabout 4 years agoPossible brewpub?
I'm wondering if it would be feasible to extend past the Piper's building parking lot, or come down from the topsail road side to have a riverside craft brewery and pub that would overlook the river or have a deck to listen to the water running while having a few drinks. I'm not sure how close you could get without disturbing the riverside and the potential flood risk associated with clearing away trees though.
0 comment0Carlalmost 4 years agoA boardwalk platform over the Waterford River along Municipal Ave. Due to flooding, this could be an alternative to directing water flow.
This boardwalk platform could be large and be a place for vendors, with benches and maybe even a little stage for local buskers. The skies the limit on what can be done. Could bring tax dollars to the city and maybe even a place for annual events.

Streetscapes & Public Spaces
about 4 years agoWithin the city centre there are a number of important public spaces, including the T'Railway, St. David's Park and Centennial Square. Do you have a great idea for something that could be improved in these or other spaces in the city centre? Or maybe there's something that you would like to see more of? Do we have enough trees? Or public art? Or places to sit?
Beverlyalmost 4 years agoI want to bicycle without threat of dying! We have a lot of walkers that use sidewalks/ trails, certainly there can be something for >60.
Think Florida or Amsterdam, although we do not have canals, we have a lot of green spaces running parallel to sidewalks. Think also of pedestrian & bicycle bridges & tunnels! Our city has a settled & aging population eager to do more & if we want to attract new families we could offer new & exciting ways to bicycle! It is essential to keep bicycles away from walkers & cars! We can do this better with vision, imagination & planning!

st.davids parkins a prime location to put in a beautiful ice skating loop in the winter that would rival any un the metro area. If the infrastructure would allow, we should also incorporate a splash pad there to use in the warmer times of the year. it would definitely be a boost for businesses in the area as they are in such a short distance to the park.

Circulation & Connectivity
about 4 years agoDo you have an idea about transportation in the city centre? Could something be done to make it easier to walk, cycle, drive or use public transit? Do you find it easy to get where you want to go? Is there enough parking? Is the city centre pedestrian-friendly?
-
Buildings & Built Form
about 4 years agoWhat do you think about the character of the buildings in the city centre? What are your thoughts on building density? Or building height? What's the best use for the Stapleton Road pool or the Park Place Community Centre?
-
Things To Do
about 4 years agoWhat do you currently do when you come to the city centre? Do you wish there were more or different types of activities offered? Are there enough places to shop, restaurants, or opportunities to open a business? What can be done to make it a better place to live, work and play?
-
Identity & Culture
about 4 years agoDoes our city centre portray the image of Mount Pearl that we want it to? Does it represent the things we value most about our community? Is our culture and heritage reflected?
