Just a reminder that Waterloo Arts is hosting Better Streets Collinwood tonight in the cafe space at Waterloo Arts at 6pm. Everyone is welcome. We need as many people as possible to advocate for better street design in our neighborhood. Streets that people can linger on and enjoy. Streets where kids can ride their bikes. Streets where everyone feels safe walking. Less street, more trees. Slow streets. Streets where businesses thrive because people want to be there. I could go on but I would rather hear from you! Join us.
