What about planting more trees along George street?

There is ornamental street lighting in place already. I guess they will just turf the old and install new lights. Its just tax dollars so who cares.

When will these people see that its not what the downtown looks like but a lack of reasons to shop there. George street is a mess many of the shops are empty and the sidewalks need a good cleaning . What the City needs to do is enforce the maintenance bylaw instead of leading the shop owners by the hand and doing their work for them.

don't stop at the canopies...go right to the back alley...

They are on the Block across the Ramada.

There is well known saying. "The more vacant lots there are in a downtown, the more shoppers will come out to go shopping downtown.

If we were to get rid of all the existing retail buildings, we would have a traffic jam downtown, especially in the evenings and on the weekends.

It's funny to note that every time it rains, I will search out any overhanging protection on my way back to the office I can. So, in spite of what it looks like, I still appreciate the protection it offers in our neck of the woods.
