Demonstration Plans were prepared to illustrate the type of environment that could evolve over time. This was presented at an Open House held September 9, 2003. Following the input from this evening, the consultants and staff proceeded to finalize the report. 3.0 STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 The Bowmanville Kino Street East Corridor Stud v: Final Reoort is forwarded under separate cover. The report provides a vision for the King Street East Corridor which extends the urban character of the historic downtown eastwardly. A more vibrant, pedestrian-oriented corridor and eastern gateway to Bowmanville is envisaged. Both investment in public infrastructure and private development will be essential to achieve this vision. New streets, upgraded streetscapes, and traffic control measures will all contribute to be a catalyst for private investment. There will be challenges to overcome to implement the vision. It is to be implemented over a period of 20 years or longer, and opportunities will come piecemeal as individual sites redevelop. The report provides recommendations for the King Street East Corridor. The recommendations include: . modifications to the transportation network; . a prioritization of actions and capital initiatives to achieve renewal; . amendments to the Clarington Official Plan; . amendments to the Clarington Zoning By-law; . urban design guidelines; . traffic control by-law and improvements 699015 :_ l '4_ REPORT NO.: PSD-11S.Q3 PAGE 4 . a community improvement plan; and . extension of the existing BIA. 3.2 Due to the pending resumption of the OMB hearing respecting the Interim Control By-law, it is important that Council address the recommendations on proposed changes to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law prior to election day. Other recommendations will be addressed by staff as soon as possible.
