City of Camrose Launches Urban Design Framework Project for Downtown

The City of Camrose is inviting residents to help shape the future of downtown through the launch of its Urban Design Framework (UDF). 

Building on the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan (DARP), the UDF will provide a clear vision and practical design guidelines to ensure downtown remains vibrant, welcoming and connected for generations to come. The framework will guide everything from building design and streetscapes to accessibility and public spaces. 

“Downtown is the heart of our community, and its future should reflect the voices of the people who live, work, and spend time here,” said Francisca Fredericks, Long Range Planner with the City of Camrose, “We want residents to be part of the conversation about how our downtown looks, feels, and functions.” 

Community input will play a central role in the project. Residents can expect opportunities to share feedback through upcoming opportunities both in person and online. The City has partnered with urban planning consultants, B&A, to develop the UDF. The framework is an evolution of the efforts put forth in 2019 to develop the existing DARP and will complement existing downtown policies while protecting Camrose’s unique heritage and character.
