Share Your Ideas for Rockwood
Property owners, stakeholders and interested parties are invited to attend our second community forum for the Rockwood Design Standards project. This forum is intended to gather community input on the preferred approach to the Design Guidelines and Standards. The evening will include an open house at 6:30, a presentation starting at 6:45 and small group work sessions to conclude the evening.
This project is intended to implement the vision for Rockwood by establishing an urban design framework and creating regulations to ensure that the physical environment of Rockwood - its buildings, streetscapes and pedestrian environments - match that vision for a quality place.
