Preferred option for retail - join the conversation

Retail refers to areas or spaces designated for businesses that sell goods or services directly to consumers, such as stores and shopping centres. Retail plays an integral role in creating a complete community at the local scale, as well as a city-wide destination.

Meeting Needs and Animating Places

Retail, service commercial, community facility or other public uses have an important role in meeting the needs of VMC residents and animating streets and public spaces. 

Millway Avenue is envisioned as the VMC’s main street, running through its core. It will become a destination for retail, commercial, and community and public uses.

Elsewhere, the preferred option uses retail and other active uses to animate the frontages of parks, mews and streets to create inviting environments hospitable to pedestrians. 

Destination level retail in the core along Millway is complemented by retail deeper within the quadrants, improving local access to retail and other amenities for VMC residents.
