Help Shape Preston's Future: 25-Year Community Plan
Official title: Cambridge - Preston Secondary Plan
Cambridge is creating a 25-year plan for the Preston neighbourhood. They want to know where new housing should go, what parks and public spaces are needed, and how people should get around. This will guide everything from building heights to bike paths.
Why This Matters
Live in Preston or thinking of moving there? This plan decides what gets built over the next 25 years. It affects housing options, traffic, parks, and whether you can walk or bike to daily errands. Your input now shapes the neighbourhood for decades.
What Could Change
The Secondary Plan will set rules for where taller buildings can go, where new parks are created, and where cycling and pedestrian paths get built. It becomes part of Cambridge's Official Plan, making these decisions legally binding for future development.
Key Issues
- Where should taller buildings be allowed in Preston?
- Where are new parks and public spaces needed?
- Where should new cycling and pedestrian connections be built?
- What features of Preston should be maintained or enhanced?
