Active public space (Colony-Portage)

Active public places and spaces are an integral aspect of any healthy downtown. Colony Street between Portage and St. Mary has potential to become a more pedestrian oriented space between the residential and commercial developments on the west side of the street and the Art Gallery and QAUMAJUQ on the east side of the street. The commercial growth in this district of new businesses and housing will require parking, while the goal of the district is to prioritize pedestrians over cars. Considering economic, cultural, social, municipal and development factors, to provide a Social Enterprise Business Case that would contribute to activating the street.
