Southside of Colborne Street

Yes, this is a huge project....but something is finally getting done. It is a solution, with action-oriented plans and funding opportunities, and institutional ideas and strength behind it. I appreciate the heritage concerns - those are classic buildings, one of a kinds - but where is the money to fix them? Where has it been? Where is the political will? There have been 30 years of ideas and talk as they have deteriorated....

Look for new concepts to materialize shortly, that powerfully capture the needs of the community and the focus to recapture the vitality of an urban downtown, family friendly environment.
