WHAT WE HAVE HEARD SO FAR…

Heritage

  • More buildings need protecting
  • Development that respects heritage

buildings on the site is possible

  • There is a strong relationship between

heritage and culture

  • Temporary uses in heritage buildings

should be considered

Built Form

  • The way that buildings hit the ground

is key

  • Lower scale of Corktown is important

to protect

  • Mix of uses is desirable
  • Fine grain of retail is needed
  • Mid-block connections are key

Public Realm

  • Secure any open space, even small

spaces with a couple of benches and trees

  • Make better use of the resources we

have (eg. Upgrade of St. James Park)

  • Street-specific streetscapes could define

different areas
