A moderately more dense and livable city, especially downtown, with all neighbourhoods having access to low-impact transportation, diverse services and varied housing options.

We are working towards:

• Livable neighbourhoods
• More people living downtown and close to downtown

A vibrant, mixed-use downtown encourages active transportation, local businesses, civic pride, and tourism. Livable neighbourhoods attract residents and businesses. They have housing to suit different ages, abilities, and incomes, and amenities to meet daily needs.

Our Progress:

So far, the City of Whitehorse has completed several plans that will guide development in the downtown and Marwell areas, including the Robert Service Way Planning Study, the Downtown Plan, and the Marwell Plan. The Downtown Parking Management Plan is also undergoing an update. Participation in these processes were good, indicating a high level of investment by residents in the downtown.
