Description

Mountain View Neighbours have installed a set of 10 historic themed street markers along Fraser Street and Victoria Drive. These plaques contain factoids that link out to a supporting website. The online site uses social networking and gathers collective memories of Fraser Street, allowing the creation of an expandable, living document of the neighbourhood. This project beautifies and creates interesting walkways.
