I think Ellice Avenue has got prime residential potential. I would invest in this area without hesitation.

It’s better now because the university is growing day after day.
Laura Kasdorf, first-year student, business

I really don’t know anything about it.
Martha Terffa, second-year student, economics and finance

It could be a very culturally diverse street. Having the small, cultural restaurants, I think it could grow into downtown’s ‘it’ place.
Thomas Kroeker, employee, Black Sheep Diner

I think Ellice is probably becoming more inviting as a place to live and spend time in - mostly because of the hard-working community development groups and local people.
Kelsey Vieira, second-year student, criminal justice

I think, in terms of an urban area, Ellice Avenue has a lot of potential. University expansion helps, but I think there’s a long way to go with respect to creating a safer, more pedestrian-friendly downtown.
