Bel-Nor alderpersons point to parks, walkability and affordability as community strengths
Summary
During the June 2 work session, alderpersons highlighted Bel-Nor's quiet, tree-lined character, walkability, parks (Horatio Park, Clearview Park), attractive housing stock and affordability compared with nearby communities as assets to build on in planning.
Board members listed community strengths they want the strategic plan to preserve and build on, including quiet neighborhood character, tree-lined streets, an attractive and varied housing stock, friendly residents, walkability and sidewalks, public safety, and active social events. Parks and green spaces — including Horatio Park and Clearview Park — and proximity to regional trails were noted as important amenities.
Alderpersons also cited improved municipal finances and a record of successful grant-funded projects as strengths to leverage in future planning. The Board discussed how the plan should preserve neighborhood character while addressing future infrastructure needs.
