BARRIE, ONT. After what local business leaders called a successful first-run, Barrie city council is set to consider an expanded return of the Open Air Dunlop Street Project. Last fall, Dunlop Street was closed to vehicular traffic for a total of five Saturdays in a bid to increase foot traffic and revenue for local businesses. We discovered that people just want to come down and really enjoy the brand new streetscape, if and able pop into one of our great shops downtown or grab a great meal from our chefs who are independent restaurants, said Kelly McKenna, the executive director of the Downtown BIA. We have a unique offering downtown, along with Meridian Place and the water right across the street.
BARRIE, ONT. Several organizations have come together to help keep downtown Barrie safe. The BIA, The Women & Children s Shelter, the Salvation Army and Shak s World created a program to allow people who feel insecure in the city s downtown to have a safe space to go. There s a lot going on downtown, so just the peace of mind knowing you can go into a business and access a resource is tremendous, said Shak Edwards, the president and founder of Shak s World Community Centre. The initiative is called Bright Spot. It intends to have downtown businesses open to those who feel they are being followed, harassed, and or feel unsafe and seek help.
