I know some people who commandeered an empty, garbage-filled lot in the downtown-eastside. They actually cut the locks on the fence and just started to garden it. It looks amazing! Here are a few photos of the first lot. Eventually the owners drove by the lot and wondered what the heck was going on on the lot. Now they've done up paperwork, officially giving them permission to be there, the workers just needed to sign a waiver. Amazing!!
Since then, a sausage factory accross the back alley offered up one of their empty lots (opens right on to Hastings, by the Patricia) as they didn't have immediate plans for it and they liked what they saw at the other lot!
Now..... they've got their eye on the HUGE lot accross the street from the Glen and Hastings garden... it's CN property, but we'll ask anyways.
