Placemaking
|
Placemaking is a community-centered approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. The CWNA Placemaking Committee works to increase and improve our parks, streets and public art. A number of the CWNA's placemaking goals are in alliance with the City's North Downtown Yonge Urban Design Guidelines and Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan.
The CWNA Placemaking Committee has three main priorities:

The Lane Naming Project One of the CWNA's placemaking projects is to identify and name previously nameless alleys in the neighourhood. So far eleven lanes have been named. |
Members of the Placemaking Committee take care of several gardens in the public realm of our neighbourhood. One of our ongoing projects is caring for the Wellesley Street planters.
