Early Concept - Community Input

Following the Council adoption of the Moody Centre TOD Area Plan in November 2017, and at the encouragement of staff and members of Council, the majority landowners in the designated TOD Area established the Moody Centre TOD Master Planning Group to work on a masterplan for this future neighbourhood.

Following 18 months of working with design experts at Perkins & Will and City Staff; the Master Planning Group believed the preliminary masterplan was ready to receive early input from the community.

Six Discussion Groups were held in September to solicit early input. The below summaries represents the feedback we received.

Following great interest from the public, the Moody Centre Station TOD Area Master Planning Group conducted two Open Houses providing identical information, to receive early input from members of the Public.

Following the Open Houses in October and November of 2019, the Planning Group hosted three invitational, themed discussion roundtables to further explore recurrent themes during community discussions. These themes are: Urban Architecture and Design, Public Realm and Art, and Transportation and Circulation. Attendees were invited based on their response to a question asked during the first round of Community Open Houses.

Taking feedback into account from the first round of Open Houses in late 2019, the Planning Group conducted a follow up series of Open Houses to reflect these identified priorities.

To conclude the Preliminary Pre-Application Public Engagement Program, the Master Planning Group reached out to three additional organizations who were identified as key stakeholder groups in the community & whose specific feedback was deemed critical prior to a formal OCP Amendment Application. These organizations included: The Port Moody Environmental Stewards (environmental interest), The Port Moody Friendship Society (accessibility interest), and the Simon Fraser University Student Society Board (student/ U35 interest). A presentation and roundtable discussion were had with each group to gather focused input on the preliminary master plan concept.

The Moody Centre TOD Master Planning Group hosted a series of walking tours in Moody Centre to share a real-time experience of how the proposal intends to revitalize and activate the area. Tours had a limited capacity to abide by COVID-19 restrictions. Between August and November 2020, ten tours were given, with a total of 39 attendees.

After presenting the plan to the Community Planning Advisory Committee and City Council in late 2020 and early 2021, the Planning Group refined their proposal in response to the feedback received and submitted a supplemental submission for the City’s review. To introduce the community to the revised submission, the Planning Group is hosting their third round of Open Houses to share the updates to the plan.
