Help Shape the Future of Rennie's River Neighbourhood
Official title: Rennie's River Neighbourhood Plan
St. John's is creating a neighbourhood plan for the Rennie's River area in the city's east end. The plan will guide future development while preserving the area's historic character, tree-lined streets, and green spaces. The city wants to hear from residents about what they value and what could be improved.
Why This Matters
Live in or near Rennie's River? This plan will shape what gets built in your neighbourhood for years to come. It covers everything from housing density to park access. Even if you just visit Bannerman Park or walk the Rennie's River Trail, your input matters.
What Could Change
The neighbourhood plan could set new rules for building heights, housing types, and land use in the area. It may identify sites for new development or areas to protect. Changes to traffic patterns, pedestrian routes, and park improvements could also result from this process.
Key Issues
- How should the neighbourhood's historic character be preserved while allowing for new development?
