鈥淏y using a unique format in which 91大黄鸭 residents can see how their decisions affect which scenario for 91大黄鸭 they arrive at, we hope to give a sample of how future growth might affect neighbourhoods, development and infrastructure decisions made today,鈥 said Danielle Noble-Brandt, City of 91大黄鸭 policy and planning department manager.

The story and accompanying questionnaire are components of the public engagement for the Official Community Plan update and Transportation Master Plan process.
