The City of Belleville has released the Draft Corridor Plan for Bell Boulevard and a section of North Front Street, offering the public a first look at proposed land use changes and design direction for this key urban area.

The draft document, now available for public review, outlines the vision, land use framework, and urban design strategy for the corridor. It reflects community input, technical analysis, and contributions from consulting firms Fotenn Planning & Design and TYLin, while aligning with updated provincial planning policies.

The study area includes Bell Boulevard and the portion of North Front Street between Bell Boulevard and the rail line. The plan aims to guide the corridorโ€™s transformation into a vibrant, mixed-use area and provide a roadmap for development that supports Bellevilleโ€™s Official Plan objectives.
