CHEF’S EVENT

FARMER’S MARKET

RED BAG SALE

WHAT A SUMMER!

Wow — what a summer! Right from the opening of the Brant Street Pier on Sound of Music Weekend through to the hum of the motors at the Marques D’Elegance Streetfest, there has always been something going on downtown.

We have filled this newsletter with

some of the pictures from this action-

packed summer. Looking forward, we

have a roster of fun events coming up

this Fall – family-focused, culturally-

focused, food-focused — there is

something for everyone. Here are

some highlights!

Mark Saturday, October 26th in your

calendars for Treats in Our Streets — the

annual downtown trick-or-treating event.

Based on the success of our Chef’s

Around the Block event in July, we

will be launching the second event in

our Downtown Culinary Series this

November. Watch for details in our

bimonthly member e-news.

Friday, November 29th is booked

for the Candlelit Stroll presented

by Burlington Downtown and LaSalle

Park Retirement Community. This

year’s event will once again launch

the annual Burlington Lakeside

Festival of Lights!

More information about how to

get involved in these events will

be sent out in upcoming Member

eNewsletters. In the meantime, if you

are interested in finding out more

about sponsorship or participation in

any of these events, please contact:

Core Commitment

Councillor Marianne Meed Ward is the council representative on the BDBA’s Board of Directors. We asked her office to provide a status update on approved development projects in the downtown community. Here are some projects the downtown business community has been asking about:

COUNCILLOR’S CORNER

Bridgewater

South side of Lakeshore Road between

Elizabeth Street and Pearl Street

22-storey and 7-storey residential

condo, 8-storey four-star hotel, and

retail at ground floor along Lakeshore Rd.

Presales expected to begin in 2013 with

construction in 2014. The hotelier has

not been confirmed.

Medical/parking/condo complex

Caroline, John, Elizabeth, Maria Streets

17-storey apartment facing Maria

Street; 8-storey medical office facing

Caroline; ground floor retail; and

an 8-storey above ground/ 3-storey

underground parking structure with 522

commercial/residential spaces, increasing

current general public parking by 13 spaces

STATUS: The developer is negotiating

some of the community benefits and

conditions in the development agreement

that require upgrading the hydro service

in the area, and burying the hydro wires

from John to Pine Streets. An extension

until March 2014 was granted on

resolution of the terms. A holding zone

has been placed on the development until

these issues are resolved.

Tim Hortons - 601 Brant St.

former Blockbuster

A site plan application has been

submitted, and was reviewed by staff in

May, with comments sent back to Tim

Hortons. There are ongoing discussions

about aspects of the site plan layout to

ensure a high quality of design on the key

corner in the downtown.

STATUS: Construction is expected to begin

in the fall.

Village Square

Village Square has not been sold. Several

potential buyers have approached the

City to enquire about redevelopment

possibilities. Three of the buildings on the

site were reviewed by a heritage consultant

and the city’s Heritage Burlington

Citizen’s Advisory Committee. All have

heritage value and are worthy of heritage

designation, according to the review.

STATUS: City staff will be doing some further

studies on the potential cultural heritage value

of the Village Square as a whole.

Reichmann Seniors Housing

Pearl and Pine Streets

Approved in 2009, a 14-storey, 128-

unit retirement home facing Pearl Street

and a nine-storey tower facing Pine

Street, with ground floor commercial.

STATUS: Construction underway.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact : Marianne.MeedWard@burlington.ca or 905-335-7600, x 7588

DOWNTOWN BOASTS NEW PARKING SIGNAGE

The City of Burlington parking

department has been working with

the BDBA and Tourism Burlington

to create a helpful map for visitors

to our downtown.

There are 14 locations at all the

Municipal downtown surface parking

lots, including waterfront lots in

Spencer Smith Park. They have been

designed to be accessible to all and

each includes a hard standing concrete

area around the sign base.

The map will indicate Downtown points

of interest, attractions, parks, visitor

information, shopping and business

locations and details on parking.

It will include a full list of events for the

Downtown and will be illuminated at night.
