YG220K Hosts First Public Information Session 

Join us from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 24 at Memorial Hall, located on the second floor of City Hall at 216 Ontario St., to learn more about the City’s new Official Plan and Integrated Mobility Plan – together known as YG200K.

These projects are important parts of the City’s long-term planning. With Kingston projected to grow to 220,000 people by 2051, YG200K will help guide how and where we grow, and how we move.

“The Official Plan guides land use decisions by laying out a policy for how land in the city will be used in the future, that means where housing is built, where businesses, schools, farms, industry and more is located.” said Laura Flaherty, Project Manager with City of Kingston Planning Services. “We’re writing this new plan to ensure we grow with intention and in a way that reflects and supports the diverse goals and needs of the community.”

“Transportation systems take decades to shape. Through the Integrated Mobility Plan, we’re laying the groundwork for a future network that supports growth while offering people safe, efficient, and flexible options for moving around the city,” said Matt Kussin, Manager Transportation Policy and Programs with the City of Kingston’s Transportation & Transit Services.

Throughout the project so far we have heard from many community members, including through pop-ups, a Community Advisory  Group and a city-wide survey. At the April 24 session, City staff will share what we’ve heard to date, introduce a set of big ideas that will shape both plans, and invite attendees to share their feedback and ask questions through facilitated activities.
