More Laneway Plans

Remember this laneway business entrance we teased you with a few weeks back? 

Sandy and Sarah operate Georgian Bay Books, whose back entrance is seen above. Last week they received their design package from the Love Your Laneways Project! Here they are looking over some of the design drawings with their creator, Martin Uharcek. 

The package includes inspirational drawings, an outline of recommended improvements and suggestions for supply sources. 

Saturday Afternoons has also received their completed design package! Owner Paula is reviewing the recommendations, again with Martin.

To give you a better idea of the materials downtown businesses are receiving, here is an example of one of the drawings developed for yet another downtown business, Assante Wealth Management. 

This is just one drawing example; a business will generally receive a number of drawings showing the laneway-facing area from a number of different angles. 

Each of these businesses has also received a copy of the Love Your Laneways Handbook to assist them as they bring these plans forward into reality. And of course, the Love Your Laneways team is available to assist and answer questions along the way as well. 

Perhaps you are one of the downtown merchants waiting for your design package, but if you have not yet made an appointment, don't delay! Our Midland summers pass far too quickly, and who wants to be improving their laneway entrance area in the cold, rain and snow? 😉
