@WeAreNorthPark we setup this water station today because in talking to our street entrenched friends we learned the orgs they usually access food, water, bathroom facilities from are closed. OurPlace is offering 3 meals/day by brownbag but water is a real problem + this is an easy fix. join us

Jane Jacobs pointed to the need for small scale storefronts for vibrant cities. As downtown #yyj & Harris Green become block after block of condos on commercial 'pedestals,' how do we avoid long blank glass walls? #architecture #placemaking

This curb extension made of plastic bollards near George Jay Elementary in Victoria BC shortens crossing distances for kids, vividly communicates crosswalk to drivers, reduces vehicle turning speeds, and improves sight lines. A lot going on at a low cost @CityOfVictoria

@MS_athlete I'l feel you but i will hold your faith until they earn yours back. These earlier days you talk about didnt have all voices or attention of that busy building; it does now + the more benefits proposed to be served the more sr gov funding will gravitate. Its not a linear process.

@newcrystalpool I lost faith at day 922 into the decision making process. We are now at 3,139 days since the city first received the CEI report. The pattern is clear. They will cycle through another election again. You will have no centre, I will have no pool.

@MS_athlete No, imo your argument is simple, not you Susan, not how I roll. Show some faith in Mayor + Council to work thru complexities, they are obligated to deliver max community benefit + ROI. "For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” - H.L Mencken

@newcrystalpool Hmmm. You just called me simple. And here we stand. No new pool in sight. And community centre. Well done.

@MS_athlete Why place childcare at #crystalpool? Per BC Min of ChildCare Chen, "The reason we look at public opportunities is we notice that w/ public investment, they provide more stability + accountability + make sure the childcare spaces we are building will remain as a community asset.”

@MS_athlete Couldnt disagree more about the need to leverage an $80 million investment to bring equitable wellbeing to our city. If helping single parents get back to work by carving out space for affordable childcare situated in a city run recreation building is an ROI homerun.

@newcrystalpool Allison, you are right. Our city needs many things, but leveraging the pool for a daycare and community centre is not the way to do it. These actions have created division in our city and have put everyone at risk of having no services. #savecrystalpool #thepeoplespool

@WeAreNorthPark In Downtown Harris Green (IIRC) there isn't a single back yard in the entire community. Parks and green space are essential & all too distant from where we live. It would be shameful to remove any of what we do have access to. Esp w a growing number of kids in the core #equity
