BIA Bench Design – feedback needed
As part of a series of transformative streetscape improvements, The Cabbagetown BIA will be installing 19 benches across Parliament, Carlton, and Gerrard E. This project is in line with their Streetscape Masterplan, which highlights the need for Cabbagetown to create more meeting places and add consistent branding by tackling the lack of public and accessible seating.
Complete the survey by April 20th.
