utility network

Our Purpose & Goal Today:

• To get your feedback on our technical

evaluation and recommendations on what ideas to move forward with on Quayside.

• Staff has engaged with experts for

several months to evaluate and assess the ideas put forward by Sidewalk Labs in their MIDP.

• We've arrived at a set of ideas that we

feel are worth pursuing, but we now want to know what you think.

36

• What do you think about the ideas we

are recommending for Quayside?

• We want to know so we can revise,

update and fine-tune these ideas into a Final Innovation Plan to present to the Board for a decision.

Questions for you
