Taking Action on Problem Properties: McCauley edition¶
There was a problem strip mall, and neighbours pooled money to purchase it.
The Piazza story is not just a McCauley story; it signals to other neighbourhoods and communities, to community developers, and to political leaders what can be accomplished by citizens determined to do what the community has chosen to do.
DISTRICT PLANNING¶
District Planning is a multi-year project to build The City Plan’s 15-minute districts—small towns in our big city—where people can meet many of their daily needs locally.

WILD'N on WHYTE AVE¶
I can't give a big enough shout-out to the OSBA for pulling together these fantastic maps.
