The project includes a collection of ideas to lift the community's quality of life, including:
- Housing Affordability: Focusing on enhancing housing affordability and housing supply growth.
- Strategic Growth Nodes: Directing growth towards strategic and well-suited areas throughout the city.
- Gentle Density: Streamlining the approvals process and reducing barriers to residential development.
- Parking Reform: Reducing parking requirements to unlock new development opportunities.

“As a thriving, growing community, we face new challenges and opportunities," said the city's director of planning, Peter Tonazzo, in a news release issued today. "The City of Sault Ste.
