The City of Delta continues to advance the Ladner Village Revitalization Program, with the latest milestone being Delta Council’s approval of the updated Chisholm Street Wharf design at the July 28, 2025 Regular Meeting. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction will be issued in August, with work expected to begin this fall and completed by spring 2026.
“This is an exciting step forward for the Ladner Village Revitalization program,” said Mayor George V. Harvie. “The upgrades to the Chisholm Street Wharf are a key step in reimagining our waterfront and creating a more vibrant, accessible, and welcoming space for residents and visitors alike. Delta Council is proud to see this vision progressing with thoughtful input from the community throughout the process.”
The final design reflects feedback received during two rounds of public engagement, including input gathered earlier this summer. Concept images and a summary of the feedback are available at: letstalk.delta.ca/ladner-village. A few of the key improvements include:
- Enhanced accessibility features
- Flexible gathering spaces for community use
- Stepped seating along the base of the wharf
- Upgraded dike pathways
- A designated zone for seasonal pop-up container concessions
Delta Council also received updates on other initiatives within the broader Ladner Village Revitalization Program, including plans for a new brand strategy and upcoming roadway improvements along Chisholm Street.
The brand strategy will help define and promote Ladner Village’s identity as a vibrant, historic, and waterfront community, while supporting tourism, wayfinding, and local economic development. The consultant will incorporate previous community feedback into the process, and all proposed designs will be reviewed by Delta Council before going out for further public input.
In addition, staff are developing concepts to improve Chisholm Street, including a new multi-use pathway and potential roadway reconfiguration. A parking study will be completed as part of this work. Concepts and findings will be presented to Council later this year and will be followed by opportunities for community engagement.
