Good to hear. We need to provide more amenity to the area and really encourage more variety use in and around.

Have you ever said anything positive?

Improving an area has to start somewhere. The Quarters has a couple awesome redevloments, some momentum with small art collectives, public realm investment.

Will it work to improve the area? Maybe, maybe I'd the other levels of government stepped up and fulfilled their responsibilities for homelessness, mental health and drug addiction.

The only way that area will improve is if those parking lots get developed.

I agree with Hardhatdan - give it a few more years because this park wasn't meant to be a runaway success overnight.

But no, everyone on SSP wants instant gratification.
