Project background:
In January 2022, on behalf of the City of Quesnel, L&M Engineering began the process of creating a Revitalization Plan for the Davie Street area. The intent of this Revitalization Plan is to direct growth, attract investment, and help to continue to create a resilient and vibrant downtown. The Plan will also identify transportation improvements and work to improve the safety and pedestrian experience of Carson Avenue.
Why are we doing this?
Quesnel’s Official Community Plan (OCP) was adopted in 2019 and addressed a series of items for Council’s vision on the Downtown core. For this particular area, Council wants to see clusters of craft uses anchored by Barkerville Brewery. These uses could include craft micro-breweries, distilleries, artisan food and coffee shops and cultural and entertainment amenities.

Green space
Small area for green space. Gives people (especially those with young children) a place to take a break while touring around.

Open up the space to be more pedestrian friendly
Sidewalks on all parts of this space so it becomes more pedestrian friendly. Better cross walk so that walkers have easy access to the market and/or the parks. Add in bike parking to allow for locking up of bikes in this area. Remove cars from one of the roads along the brewery side (these two are redundant) and creat a pedestrian square with food truck opportunities. Encourage craft distillery or wineries to the location. Make this a go to place for evening/afternoon hangout.
