With a 160-person waitlist and growing pressure from downtown residents, a student feasibility study confirms the rooftop could structurally support 16 garden plots. Backed by city councillors and the Victoria Downtown Residents Association, the plan aims to foster community, green space, and food sovereignty in the heart of the city. Council will now evaluate costs, including lost parking revenue, while the residents’ group would handle fundraising and construction. This pilot could redefine urban living — balancing green dreams with concrete realities. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
