Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy (ARKS) Community Visions were approved on November 1, 2005. The Community Visions Program is a component of CityPlan that provides each community with an opportunity to look into its future, determine its needs and aspirations, and set a course that is consistent with CityPlan.

In 1995, City Council adopted CityPlan, a city-wide plan that provides a framework for deciding City programs, priorities, and actions over the next 20 years. CityPlan includes directions on a range of topics, from transportation to arts, housing to community services.[CityPlan & Community Visions Overview]

In neighbourhoods with approved Community Visions, City staff and the community are working on making their Visions a reality: dealing with traffic issues around schools; community clean-ups; reviewing zoning in shopping areas; addressing traffic issues on major roads; and developing better ways for residents to communicate with each other and with City Hall.
