Using an academic article and what we heard from the community as inputs, our team developed a design process to help us focus on areas of interest in the Crossroads neighbourhood. We called these areas of interest, “hearts” and we set out to transform their potential. In the bridge heart, we connected Nose Creek to the community; and, in the laboratory heart, we created a vibrant, testingground for activity and social connectedness near the City’s airport. In Crossroads’ Hearts, members of the Crossroads’ community rediscovered old pathways, natural areas, their neighbours, and lake fun. Through our design, we learned that the four hearts equaled one vision. The sum was greater than its parts. It was a community rediscovered.
