Original Description:

Goal:Enhance, improve neighbourhood services available in public realm

Locations: Evaluate how and where the following might be added to the neighbourhood:

•   public washroom(s) + public shower(s) or other amenities for those experiencing homelessness 

•   more and better designed garbage receptacles to address chronic overflow

- consider decorating as public art? 

•   additional dog park(s)

•   pickle ball court(s)

Approach:

•   consult with appropriate city staff to explore the feasibility/cost of each item

•   rank with input from SLNA for community prioritization                

Budget: to be determined

Note: This is one idea which can be scoped in a range of cost brackets, with associated investments ranging from large to very significant. It is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue with the Councillor’s office to qualify and shape this idea further as design and cost input is received from staff experts at the City, and prior to it being submitted for voting.
