Help Shape the Future of Downtown London
Official title: Downtown Plan
London is creating a new plan for its downtown. The city wants to know how to make the area more livable, more business-friendly, and more appealing to visitors. Phase 1 gathered initial feedback through surveys and meetings. Now Phase 2 is testing specific policies before finalizing the plan.
Why This Matters
Live, work, or hang out downtown? This plan will shape what gets built and where over the next decade. It could mean more housing options, better nightlife, or easier parking. Even if you don't live downtown, a thriving core benefits the whole city.
What Could Change
The plan will set specific actions for the next 10+ years. Short-term changes (1-4 years) could include new zoning rules or business incentives. Medium-term (5-9 years) might bring infrastructure upgrades. Long-term goals will guide major development decisions.
Key Issues
- How should downtown support residential, commercial, and employment growth?
- What would make downtown a more vibrant destination for residents and visitors?
- What short, medium, and long-term actions should the city prioritize?
