Full working records—not finished plans.

Design and decision principles

What should guide the work

1. Keep the existing Visitor Information Centre and give it a clear role in the new civic district.
2. Relocate Public Works functions that are incompatible with a pedestrian civic centre.
3. Protect important mountain views and mature landscape features where practical.
4. Design parking access, deliveries and emergency access before fixing the plaza layout.
5. Use a scale and architectural language that remain recognizably Harrison.

Still unresolved

Questions that must remain visible

• What is the verified parking demand on ordinary days, summer weekends and during major events?
• Can below-grade parking be delivered safely given groundwater, drainage and flood conditions?
• Which public and commercial uses can support year-round village life without overwhelming the site?
• Where can Public Works be relocated, at what cost and with what operational effect?

Design and decision principles

What should guide the work

1. Keep the cabin's home-occupation role and the human-scale character of its riverside setting.
2. Place parking and servicing on Miami River Drive so storefronts can address Hot Springs Road.
3. Test the idea through a monitored one-season pilot capped at three non-transferable authorizations across the entire Greenway.
4. Select participating properties through transparent published criteria rather than first-come, first-served approval, with spacing and a balanced product mix considered to prevent a continuous shopping strip.
5. Allow Greenway-facing sales only for goods substantially grown, made, created, prepared or transformed by registered Harrison Hot Springs residents; prohibit wholesale inventory and general resale.
6. Require each stall operator to maintain a contributor register and consolidate community-producer supplies through the property's normal street frontage.
7. Keep repair intake, parcel pickup, general resale, appointments and other destination-service activity at the normal street frontage rather than the Greenway.
8. Keep all deliveries, storage, waste collection, utilities and servicing at the established residential street frontage and within normal residential-scale activity.
9. Operate Greenway-facing stalls during daylight hours only and close and secure every display at dusk.
10. Use one small informative sign per property, no larger than 0.10 square metres, in rustic wood or natural stone with no plastic, lighting, reflective material or animated display.
11. Use a small, restrained entrance sign rather than actively promoting the greenway as a tourism attraction.

Still unresolved

Questions that must remain visible

• Which interested residences have a suitable, privacy-sensitive property edge for the pilot?
• Can three coordinated Temporary Use Permits provide an appropriate one-season test of Greenway-facing outdoor stalls before any permanent zoning amendment specifically allowing such stalls is considered?
• What river setbacks, flood conditions and environmental approvals apply?

Design and decision principles

What should guide the work

1. Make family recreation and year-round use the primary purpose.
2. Keep the glass bridge and pavilion visually light and subordinate to lake and mountain views.
3. Maintain universal access between the pool property, bridge, beach and promenade.
4. Treat lagoon-water use as conditional on monitoring and public-health approval.
5. Develop an ownership and operating model that benefits residents, the village, the region and the current property owner.

Still unresolved

Questions that must remain visible

• What ownership, access and thermal-water obligations affect the current public-pool property?
• What would the bridge and seasonal pavilion cost to build, operate and maintain?
• How would winter humidity, ventilation, corrosion and emergency access be managed?
• What lagoon-water activities remain appropriate under changing water-quality conditions?

Design and decision principles

What should guide the work

1. Solve the wastewater question before treating the land as available for another use.
2. Use current engineering, lifecycle cost, climate, flood and capacity assumptions rather than reusing 2009 estimates.
3. Present the 2008-2010 record fairly and distinguish documents, interpretation and unanswered questions.
4. Require environmental remediation and public-health approvals before any wellness use.
5. Keep buildings low and preserve the site's lake, forest and mountain setting.

Still unresolved

Questions that must remain visible

• What would a modern pipeline route, Kent capacity agreement and lifecycle cost look like?
• What formal resolution changed the project direction in 2010, and how was funding amended?
• What are the full present-day costs and risks of maintaining, protecting and expanding the existing plant?
• What legal and practical arrangements would provide public access to thermal water?
• What public, partnership or operating model could make the wellness park viable?

Design and decision principles

What should guide the work

1. Improve and authorize existing routes before creating new ones.
2. Use route colour for continuity, not as a substitute for difficulty or safety information.
3. Use a single small painted marker only where route direction could be unclear; reserve posts for major decisions and destinations.
4. Begin with one short pilot route and evaluate navigation, ecology, resident effects and maintenance effort.
5. Provide volunteers with written roles, training, insurance, protective equipment, tools, expense support and recognition.

Still unresolved

Questions that must remain visible

• Which routes are authorized, who owns them and who currently maintains them?
• Which short loop offers a low-risk pilot with clear ownership and community value?
• How should hiking, off-road cycling and village cycling signs be distinguished?
• What insurance and stewardship agreement would protect volunteers and land managers?
• Which routes or sensitive places should not be promoted publicly?
