An informal workshop was held last week as a preliminary step to reimagining the first block of Second Avenue as a “creative corridor.”

Dauphin Economic Development manager Martijn van Luijn has been tasked with creating a new vision for area.

“Council has desire to assist with reviving downtown and this would be considered sort of a pilot program, how can we reimagine this street by introducing some enhancements,” van Luijn said.

A consultant from Urban Systems has been contracted to help develop a plan and used the workshop as an opportunity to present examples from other communities as a means of stimulating conversation about what might be possible in Dauphin.
