New Town plan could change the face of Kerr Street By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Oakville's Planning and Development Council has OK'd a pilot project, which will change the future face of Kerr Street. The community improvement plan for Kerr Village will focus on building exteriors in the area. It is unclear just what changes residents will see as Town staff are just beginning to work on the plan. "This is a very exciting time for Kerr Village and Oakville as a whole," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "Community improvement plans allow the Town to work with business and property owners to find ways of improving their buildings and surroundings; creating even greater opportunities for economic attraction and growth." Town staff described the plan as a tool in the Planning Act that allows municipalities to look at areas, such as unused industrial sites, aging cultural heritage resources, emerging growth areas or downtown main street districts, which could be improved by maintenance, rehabilitation, development or redevelopment. "We look forward to working with Kerr Village BIA, property owners and residents in the area to develop this community improvement plan," said Cathy Duddeck, Ward 2 Town and Regional Councillor. Community consultation is said to be vital to the plan. Town staff said the community would be engaged in setting priority areas, helping determine what financial approaches would work and looking at what type of buildings would be within the scope of the plan. "Community involvement is the driver behind successful community improvement plans," said Ward 2 Town Councillor Pam Damoff. "With no provincial or federal funding available for these types of programs, I am pleased the Town is moving forward to work with the community in designing this pilot project and sharing our experiences and success with all of Oakville." The plan will be drafted throughout the year with financial forecasts submitted for the Town's budget process in late 2013. If approved, the targeted implantation of the pilot project would be from 2014-19.
