DREDGE POND II MASTER PLAN
The Dredge Pond II Master Plan represents a significant milestone toward a multi-phase residential development to accommodate a portion of the City of Dawson’s expected growth. Residential land use is supported by an extended road network, parks and green space areas, trails, power, and telecommunications. The Master Plan establishes the framework for this future neighbourhood by articulating the vision and framework for how the Dredge Pond II subdivision should grow over time.
The Dredge Pond II project placed great importance on engaging Dawson City residents, partners and Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in citizens. Community engagement is of the utmost importance for developing the Master Plan. Through webinars and surveys, 3Pikas established community feedback on the overall development. Comments about the draft concept plans were used to produce the final concept plan. Other inclusions in the Master Plan are comprised of existing natural areas and respond to natural features such as the Klondike River riparian area, ponds, watercourses, and native plant vegetation. Hence, the intent of this plan is to design the subdivision layout to avoid unnecessary disturbance of major natural areas or significant landscape features.
