I agree with your observation, but I wonder why that is. Is it a lack of civic pride? inattentiveness by the city? or something else.Edmonton's Downtown has always underwhelmed when it comes to clean, maintained, sparkle level and so this is very exciting.
I wouldn't be surprised if this stat was seen across other downtowns as well.Edmonton downtown cell phone activity 57% of pre-pandemic levels.

HEY.I completed the survey. I mentioned that public spaces need to be inclusive and safe.
However, I also demanded that the religious prophet with the megaphone be permanently banned from public speaking.
one project that i think would suit edmonton really well is if someone started to project giant visuals against the side of a blank building, i saw it all over montreal and it was really cool, fun and added like this futuristic feel to the city. sort of like this. if we could add this all over it would add so much tbh and the lighting would give the place a safer feel too.The next round of Downtown Vibrancy funding will be available shortly.
