Join us for a Jane’s Walk exploring how urban infrastructure impacts pedestrian safety, comfort, and enjoyment in St. John’s. We’ll walk through key areas to examine crosswalk design, sidewalk conditions, traffic flow, and accessibility features—highlighting what works and what doesn’t. This is a participatory event: bring your observations, ideas, and walking shoes. Hosted by a member of Challenge Car Culture, this walk invites conversation about building a city that puts people first.
Jane’s Walks are a series of free community walks held annually to highlight the unseen, under-celebrated and unique stories in the cities where we live. This walk begins at the intersection of Pine Bud Ave and Rowan St. Parking is available in Churchill Square.

Speaking of housing, this Little Street apartment building near MUN that the developer was unable to get approved by council with 96 units despite staff recommendation (because it needed "relief" for 16 parking spaces) can now proceed - but with 16 fewer one bed apartments and two fewer two beds.

One appealing feature - most of the designs offer an "accessible" option to make it easier for developers and builders to understand how to make homes that people can comfortably stay in the rest of their lives.
