Site Description
Community Patio is a pedestrian laneway between 126 and 132 Osborne Street, in the heart of Osborne Village. The site connects the east sidewalk of Osborne’s storefront strip to the back lane. There are no bollards or physical barriers between the pedestrian-only laneway and the back lane, which remains open to vehicular traffic. The neighbouring buildings provide a cozy sense of enclosure. This site has hosted past installations, which transformed the space with painted murals, picnic benches, string lights, and sculpture. The lane is a frequent thruway for people visiting the shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Osborne Village, at all hours of the day/night!
