As part of the City of Lethbridge's ongoing efforts to revitalize the urban core you may have noticed the replacement of old street lights throughout the core over the last few weeks with our new modern lights. We are now looking at 6th Street and based on the unique design of the street and in recognition of the construction based impacts you have faced over the last year we wanted to conduct a touch base to understand the preferences of the businesses on 6th.
Please complete the poll below with your preference and we will do our very best to accommodate the preferred option. In both options the sidewalks should be able to remain open for pedestrian access to businesses.
Thank you,
Crystal Scheit, Senior Project Administrator
Andrew Malcolm, Urban Revitalization Manager

In early July, the intersection at 3rd Avenue and 6th Street South will be closed as part of the first phase of the 3rd Avenue Reconstruction project, while this phase will only take a few months this is the start of a project that will encompass the better part of the next two years. Upon completion 3rd Avenue will be transformed into a much more vibrant and safer environment for pedestrians.
To build off of this project, the City, Heart of Our City and the Downtown BRZ have been discussing about making improvements to Festival Square (corner of 3 Ave and 6 St S) as a logical next step in the ongoing efforts of revitalization in Downtown. As such, Stantec Consulting Ltd. and their team of urban designers have been engaged in developing several conceptual design options based on previous plans and studies as well as discussions with City, HOC, and Downtown BRZ.
We are now looking to share these options with stakeholders and users of the Downtown to find out what components you like, dislike, and any other thoughts you may have! We hope you are able to take 15-20 minutes to review the supporting information, three (3) concept designs, and provide us your feedback through a survey.

On June 22nd the Downtown BRZ, Heart of Our City Committee, and City of Lethbridge jointly announced a new and refreshed look for Downtown Lethbridge brand. As part of the next steps of implementing the brand, the downtown is looking to develop a better understanding of those citizens who currently use the downtown and how they would like to use the downtown into the future. This will allow for the evaluation of what services and amenities are missing from the downtown, and how to attract and retain businesses, organizations and residents in those spaces.
Please take a few moments to complete the following public survey, it will remain open until July 24th, 2020.
For more information on the refreshed Downtown Lethbridge brand check out www.downtownlethbridge.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to the development of this public survey, twenty-two (22) stakeholder interviews were completed. Through these interviews it was made clear that concerns regarding public safety/security (real and perceived) in the downtown are critical to place at the forefront of the Downtown Personas as an overarching influence that impacts all users of Downtown Lethbridge. However, to best utilize the survey for its intended purpose of better understanding a holistic picture of current and future downtown users we strongly encourage you to think beyond safety/security concerns while completing the survey (unless specifically asked).

Survey will remain open until Tuesday June 30, 2020.
