Will downtown ever get better?

Downtown has new housing, City projects and businesses opening alongside vacancies, fires and social issues. Follow it with numbers: permits and projects on our development tracker, property crime on the downtown page, and council decisions.

Checked October 1, 2026. Numbers update on their own.

Our downtown neighbourhood page shows reported property crime and businesses; the development tracker lists building permits, rezonings and planning applications by street; and the civic pages explain council’s plans and budget. Downtown’s business improvement association and the City’s downtown incentives are linked below.
