Calgarians gathered Wednesday night to discuss development ideas for the area around Westbrook LRT station. The town hall, held at a local community centre, drew residents eager to share their visions for the transit hub's future. Organizers aimed to collect input on potential projects, including residential, commercial, and green spaces, to enhance the neighborhood.
Community Engagement
Attendees participated in breakout sessions and provided feedback on key priorities such as affordable housing, improved pedestrian access, and mixed-use developments. The event marked the first of several planned consultations as the city moves forward with its Westbrook area redevelopment plan.
Key Themes
Residents emphasized the need for sustainable design, better connectivity to the LRT, and preservation of local character. Some proposed a community hub with retail and services, while others stressed the importance of parks and public spaces.
The city will compile the feedback into a report to guide future zoning and investment decisions. A second town hall is expected later this summer.
