Placemaking Committee

The Placemaking Committee works to increase and enhance our parks and public art and improve street safety. We have three main priorities, based on the strategic consultation we carried out with various stakeholders:

1. Green spaces: maintain current parks and extend where possible; maintain current tree canopy and extend where possible.
   
2. Streetscape: retain mix of independent stores; create welcoming sidewalks; design public realms that are inviting to peaceful users and repellent to malicious users
   
3. Partnerships: work with other groups, including the BIA, that can help us achieve our objectives.

During 2012, we collaborated with the Bay Cloverhill Community Association and others to campaign for a public park at 11 Wellesley Street West.  We also began an audit of the green spaces within the CWNA’s boundaries.
