We plan to upgrade the road closure space at the corner of Loyola Avenue and Pitt Street into a new pocket park. This project is part of our commitment to enhancing local open spaces and creating more welcoming places for everyone to relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.

Thank you for your feedback and attending our pop-ups during stage 1 of engagement. We have had to pause the project while we appoint a new landscape architect in early 2026 to lead the project. We will then reach out to the community to share an updated plan and seek your feedback.
