    St. John’s deserves development that reflects the people who live and work there.

    St. John’s supposed to be the capital, but it embarrassing in some areas. Fix the basics first.

    City aesthetics important, but garbage collection needs fixing urgently. That alone would make a big difference

    I am happy that stakeholders are invited to share and participate in the government plans to improve the city

    If they really deal with derelict buildings, that alone would make a big difference.

    St. John’s should be the pride of the country, but right now it doesn’t reflect that. Serious planning and follow-through are needed.
