Flowers in the boulevards, parties in the street

Other cities that allow boulevard plantings include Cambridge, Guelph, Oakville, Oshawa, Whitby and Kelowna, B.C. Interest in neighbourhood street parties is also booming, prompting councillors to approve a simpler process for such events. The number of street parties held each in the city has doubled since the city last reviewed its street policies. In 1994, the city saw about 50 events in the street, including about 15 neighbourhood parties. Today, it sees about 100 events that close streets temporarily, including about 30 neighbourhood bashes. The city will create a simple guide for how to hold street parties, simplify road closures, and pay for insurance for events of fewer than 200 people. "I think it's a step in the right direction," said Coun. Kelly Galloway-Sealock. "I think this process will make things a lot clearer for people, and hopefully that translates into more parties." The city has already made a number of changes flowing from the new neighbourhood strategy: increasing the number and size of grants for neighbourhood events or projects; creating guides to help residents set up neighbourhood markets, community gardens and local traffic calming; giving residents more say over how neighbourhood parks should be developed; and creating a website, lovemyhood.ca, with tips and ideas for community events.
