The neighbourhood exists. Not much happens, it lacks vibrancy. The festivities of yesteryear are no more. However, it is still closer-knit than most neighbourhoods. Additionally, the area is flooded with work vans and parking has become abysmal since the permit zone was expanded to our neighbourhood. Some trees have been planted, but much more greenery could and should be added to the existing planters, bay windows, and such. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is rather drab, which happens quickly when the houses are literally painted grey. There is also a lot of illegal dumping. There is always some rubbish lying around somewhere. The bus routes in the area, if they even run nearby, are not great. They rarely go where you want to go. Postboxes are also disappearing, and even polling stations are hard to find.
