The Town of Whitby has released its Community Strategic Plan with 62 actionabe items, one of which includes a planned major upgrade for the town’s marina.
The town said the Marina Masterplan has been approved and features, among other things, the Pier 2 replacement of 56 floating dock system slips.
It also envisages the complete ecological improvements within Whitby Harbour through Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ harbour remediation project.
Apart from that, Whitby plans to invest in upgrades at the marina, and replace all outdoor lighting to LED.
To implement the Marina Masterplan, an incremental budget has approved, the town said.
It said the aim is to enhance existing facilities and services and invest in structural upgrades at the waterfront.
The town also plans to invest to implement the recommendations in the Waterfront Masterplan; complete Corbett Creek Bridge and Boardwalk replacement along waterfront trail.
Whitby is inviting residents to prioritize and rank a number of proposed capital projects (one-time spends) identified through the Community Strategic Plan. The project that receives the most support through the tool will be considered in the town’s next budget. The tool will remain open until July 19.
“Creating a Community Strategic Plan was one of council’s top priorities for the first year of the 2022–2026 term of office and
I’m so grateful that our community embraced this process,” said Mayor Elizabeth Roy.
