FYI, Executive Committee voted last week to extend Chinatown's vibrancy money, $480,000/year for 2025 and 2026. It is coming out of the existing Downtown Vibrancy budget.

You know, I really hate that expression. I haven't seen one darn cent ever.

A little over a year after reopening, the Italian Bakery will be closing... Continuing the never ending streak of bad news for Chinatown.

It would have been worse if the building was not rebuilt with something nicer and new, but having to go through a disaster, COVID and rebuilding was a lot and I suspect too much for them.

Regrettable to see it close, but when I go down to Hong Kong Bakery the amount of street persons is quite high and would turn most regular citizens off.

Thanh Thanh ơn 101st/107 for some lemongrass beef and special vermicelli bowl. Delish.

I've noticed so much in that whole area. Chinatown could be quite nice and vibrant but there needs to be a massive attitude change regarding police enforcement in the area.

We actually need a lot more facilities and services for the people that are living rough. And not all in that area.

That’s what people said about the DTES in the 90s. They got the services… and the problems stayed.

EPS needs to stop treating Chinatown as a drop and containment zone for people they don't like. Remember when businesses asked for more policing and it led to them dropping off an ex-con that killed two people?
At the same time, Chinatown Business Association needs to get on board Neighbourhood Renewal. This means stopping its fight against the City renewal of 97 Street and co-funding a new Capital Line LRT station at 95 Street.
