City of Yellowknife to hold public meeting for Grace Lake south development

Yellowknife, NWT – The city of Yellowknife wants to hear from you on how it should proceed with proposed residential lots out past Kam Lake.

Towards the end of April, council passed a motion to approve the development of the Grace Lake south area in principal.

Part of that motion required public consultation.

The city’s Director of Planning and Development, Jeff Humble, explains.

“We brought forward a memorandum to council basically outlining a general concept for the south side of Grace Lake and that includes potentially up to 80 lots as well as a designated golf course. We were directed to move forward with a public engagement. There are still decisions to be made on whether this project is moving forward but based on the design concept we have we’re seeking input on a number of design issues.”

Humble says the city will be asking for feedback on everything from amenity and park space ideas to traffic and transportation concerns.

He says there will also be a chance for people to voice their opinions on a proposed golf course in the area.

Humble says residents are invited to submit comments online – or during an open house at City Hall this Thursday.
