From playground upgrades to murals and community parties to outdoor exercise equipment, London, Ont., residents submitted a wide range of ideas to enhance their neighbourhoods as part of this year’s Neighbourhood Decision Making idea proposals.
This year, 230 ideas were submitted to the City of London by residents, neighbourhood associations and student groups looking to improve where they live.
Of the ideas submitted, the city says 79 have been turned into project proposals that Londoners can vote on from June 18 to 25.
“Residents, whether they are new to London or too young to vote in a civic election, are encouraged to cast their vote to determine how a portion of the municipal budget will be spent,” said Karen Oldham, the city’s manager of neighbourhood development and supports.
Londoners young and old can vote for up to three ideas in Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast or Southwest London.
Londoners can cast their votes three ways: online, in-person or by calling in.
Those wishing to vote online can do so from June 18 at 8:30 a.m. to June 25 at 11:59 p.m. by registering on Get Involved.
Voting in-person will take place on June 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at London Public Library locations.
Londoners can also call 519-661-8410 on June 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to cast their vote.
