Victoria city council has approved a plan to convert the roof of the parkade at 750 Johnson Street into a community garden. The parkade currently offers 272 parking spaces, with several dozen typically available at any given time, according to the motion.
Project Details
The initiative aims to repurpose underutilized urban space for community benefit. Council members voted in favor of moving ahead with the project, which will transform the rooftop into a green space for gardening.
Local residents and urban agriculture advocates have expressed support for the plan, citing benefits such as increased access to fresh produce and enhanced community engagement.
Next Steps
The city will now proceed with detailed design and feasibility studies. Construction timelines and funding sources will be determined in the coming months.
