Published 3:30 pm Monday, March 2, 2026
The City of Delta wants to hear from residents and business owners on its new Ladner Village brand concepts and preliminary design for upgrades to Chisholm Street.
As part of the broader Ladner Village Revitalization efforts, the city is developing a Ladner Village brand to express the area’s identity, character and sense of place.
Drawing from earlier community engagement, along with local history and conversations with community members, the city developed a unifying brand idea, “Shaped by the River,” and two preliminary brand concepts — “Layers Over Time” and “Flow and Connection” — to support further feedback before a preferred direction is brought forward to council.
The city is also seeking feedback on a preliminary design concept for Chisholm Street that builds on recent improvements at the Chisholm Street Wharf.
The concept explores a more people-focused street that strengthens connections between Ladner Village and the waterfront, according to a press release, including a potential one-way westbound traffic configuration, angled parking, and a multi-use pathway connecting to nearby amenities.
Parking considerations, informed by a recent parking study, will continue to be part of the discussion as community feedback is gathered, the release notes.
“Council knows how deeply people care about the character of Ladner Village,” Mayor George Harvie said in the city’s release. “This engagement is about listening carefully and inviting residents and businesses to help shape how the village evolves, while respecting the history, character and sense of place that matter so much to the community.”
Details and documents for both projects are available at letstalk.delta.ca/ladner-village, and resident and business owners can provide feedback via that webpage until March 22.
They can also attend an in-person engagement event on Haviland Street March 8, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., to review displays and ask questions of staff.
The city is also hosting an online information session on March 11 to watch presentations and participate in a Q-and-A. Register to attend at letstalk.delta.ca/ladner-village.
