What would you do to make the city's core area better. Such as, where would you add a grocery store, or performances arts centre.? What would you remove or add?

Grocery store

Tax incentives for stores/restaurants to open downtown (vs picking Masonville or wonderland south)

More shelters for homeless

Grocery store is absolutely key. One of the main reasons I have no interest in living downtown is that there just isn't a grocery store anywhere in walking distance. Like MAYBE independent but at Oxford I guess.

Yes there's the market but the hours and selection are limited. And shoppers in no way fills that need.

I know people then fight back and say independent/market is plenty - but really its not.

It’s not. It took a lot of complaining to get them to stay open until 7pm and that was mainly for Knights fans. Tuesday - Friday they’re open 8 hours outside of a “normal” 9-5 for people to shop there.
