Your Voice Matters — Help Guide One Bayfront

Erie’s bayfront is more than a place—it’s a shared legacy and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create something lasting for today’s community and those who will follow. This effort, One Bayfront: A Community-Driven Blueprint for Erie’s Waterfront, is about bringing together voices across generations to imagine what this space can become—honoring its history while creating new opportunities for future residents, visitors, and families.

The blueprint will establish a long‑term vision to guide public spaces, development, transportation, and environmental stewardship along the waterfront, shaping it to be a place that serves residents, attracts visitors, and reflects Erie’s identity. Rather than proposing specific construction projects, One Bayfront will provide a framework to help coordinate future investments and decisions over time.

At the heart of One Bayfront is meaningful community input. The blueprint needs voices from everyone in the community to create a world-class waterfront for people who love it. Feedback gathered throughout the planning process will directly shape the vision, goals, and recommendations that guide Erie’s Waterfront into the future.
