2026 Projects

Croft Lane (Ward 11 – University–Rosedale) (confirm ward?)

Croft Lane is a residential laneway with a highly engaged group of neighbours working together to reimagine how the space is used.

The project is focused on:

  • Strengthening neighbour-to-neighbour connection

  • Introducing greening and climate-responsive elements

  • Improving the overall feel and usability of the laneway

Over the coming months, the community will move through outreach, co-design, and implementation, shaping a plan that reflects local priorities and everyday use.

Second site (confirm name + location)

A second laneway will be announced shortly, expanding the program into a different neighbourhood context and building on lessons from the 2025 pilot.
