The Midtown Urban Centre includes Orchard Park Mall, Orchard Plaza as well as surrounding shopping destinations between Highway 97, Springfield Road, Leckie Road and Ambrosi Road. It also includes the rapidly growing residential neighbourhood surrounding Benvoulin Court. Midtown is unique amongst our Urban Centres in that it feels more like a big box shopping destination than an urban neighbourhood – but that is starting to change, with more and more people choosing to live closer to these major destinations.

This transformation means that we will need to identify and prioritize actions to serve existing and future residents of Midtown. The neighbourhood has few parks, lacks greenery and even though it offers so much variety in shopping, restaurants and other local services, there are gaps in some key services that other Urban Centres enjoy.

As Midtown continues to grow, we want to hear about ways to improve the neighbourhood.
