The Township of St. Joseph invites proposals from qualified consultants with WSIB and insurance coverage to provide consulting services to develop a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the re-development of the Downtown area of Richards Landing, improving the physical aesthetic appeal, wayfinding, and functionality of private and publicly owned infrastructure to create a unique identity and sense of place for the area. The CIP will also identify strategies for the development of the public waterfront area to support public accessibility, tourism and community pride.
The Plan will provide a high-level vision as well as guiding principles, and include a cohesive streetscape concept plan, design and building strategies, and recommendations that establish a framework to be used when engaging engineering firms for roadwork, traffic safety measures, accessibility and environmental protection. The document can also be referenced in government funding applications for capital improvements, resulting in targeted funding and investment.
The objective of the CIP is to achieve the anticipated measurable economic benefits detailed in the RFP.
