John Street Revitalization

[UtakataNoAnnex]

I was specifically answering @Yegger 's post which mused about going 100% pedestrian on John Street.

The point being you can't have a 100% pedestrian block and access to/from a parking lot.

I get that. You'll get more if you nuked Hooters in the process is what I am saying.

While this topic is bumped has there been anymore word of how things are going (read: how delayed things are here)?

The city's website is not updated and the last document posted is from May 2018.

In this post, I noted that during this year's budget discussions, the project was deferred to next year (and beyond).

John Street Revitalization

No, I think it's all just utility work. There are still a few issues being worked out regarding the streetscape with the city, especially with CBC/Radio-Canada as their load-in elevators are right on John. Work on that is supposed to start this year though.

So work, as of now, on the streetscape is to start next year.............

Then again, that was true last year.............

I would have said more nightclubs, but seems that comment is outdated by 10 years!

The project has been bumped to the 2023 capital budget, zero for this year.

Though if it's any consolation, the City now proposes to fund the entire thing in one shot.

I think they’re trying to line it up so just as the revitalization is about complete the new condo at John and Richmond can start and tear up a finished section and pave it over with asphalt.

It’d be bizarre if they decided plan ahead and mitigated that
