My proposal to revitalize the block of abandoned houses at 8-20 Oakmount Road, 1834-1844 Bloor Street West, and 3-17 Pacific Avenue, is to create an eco-space that has the feel of a space that is eco-friendly and where people can come buy fresh produce, learn about eco friendliness, admire the plants at the green house and eco dome, or sit next to the fountain and admire the beauty.
