Think of the foot traffic they'd get, and BMO would get some sort of write off for allowing community use on their property. Its win/win<br><br>Another option would be using either of the Green P's (behind SHOX or just north on Keele, before Vine Ave). They use the Green P parking lot @ Bathurst and Bloor for that community farmers market, seems like it would make sense (and the ground work with the city is already laid for using their property).Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194850554936551896.post-20022047868370467152011-05-18T02:36:13.000-07:002011-05-18T02:36:13.000-07:00I love the idea of the Green P parking lot.

Central location, tons of foot and bike traffic, frequent and reliable TTC bus route, lots of young families, and all the new residents at the new condo development. Bloor W has all the street vendors, we need a farmers market!Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194850554936551896.post-1964003791161424722011-05-19T07:54:54.000-07:002011-05-19T07:54:54.000-07:00Julie; I believe that Green P lot is pretty heavil...Julie; I believe that Green P lot is pretty heavily used between the church members on Annette, shoppers at No Frills and the Sweet Potato, and general "Junction tourists". I often see the lot behind Shox sit empty except for Fri & Sat nights when the bar is busy. I also think that holding the market in the location behind Shox would be a good way for the fire department, and police department (for the time being), to do some community outreach since both are located directly across the street.<br><br>I think we can both agree that regardless of where they place a farmers market, the Junction will welcome it all the sameRichardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194850554936551896.post-6582268807375587352011-05-20T04:53:49.000-07:002011-05-20T04:53:49.000-07:00Thanks Julie and Richard for your input on this.I&...Thanks Julie and Richard for your input on this.<br><br>I'm involved with the initiative and our Location committee is looking into finding the best possible location for the market, one that would be central and visible, one that would not be disruptive to the residents, and one that would make it easy for farmers and shoppers to do their business.<br><br>We hope that having a large number of residents fill out the survey will give us a better idea as to the needs of the community.<br><br>Please have your say and spread the word!<br><br>Thank you!!!Danielanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194850554936551896.post-75259564213084126232011-05-20T06:34:30.000-07:002011-05-20T06:34:30.000-07:00Just filled it out Daniela.
