THUNDER BAY — The City of Thunder Bay is initiating a planning and environmental study to guide the development of over 300 hectares of land in the Parkdale area.The Parkdale Estates subdivision, in the southeastern section, was approved for development in 1994.

To provide for intervening development, city officials estimated the city would have to over-size the sanitary sewer to the developer's 52-hectare site, at an additional cost of $1.1 million. Currently, the city does not impose development charges, and does not have reserve funds for infrastructure expansions of this scale.

In the preamble to a recent request for proposals from consultants to conduct an integrated Planning Act and Municipal Class Environmental Act study, the city noted Thunder Bay's population is expected to grow modestly over the next 20 years, and that its demographics will continue to evolve as the population ages.
