Beltline Community Investment Fund

Since 2006, The City has been accepting contributions from developers to the Beltline Community Investment Fund (BCIF). The intention of a developer-financed fund is to create an incentive for builders and investors to improve established communities, while providing enhancements to public spaces.

Contributing to BCIF allows developers to build greater density within the Beltline and allows The City and community groups to access funds to improve public spaces in the Beltline.

Funds can be used for projects like:

  • Improved sidewalks and lighting
  • Park and open space redevelopment and improvements
  • Street trees
  • Street furniture (benches, bike racks, garbage/recycling containers)
  • Public art
  • The purchase of land for the development of new parks and green spaces

Project examples

Some examples of community initiated projects that have been partially or fully funded by BCIF include:
  • Humpy Hollow Park Redevelopment project will offer the community a much-needed outdoor gathering spot featuring an off-leash dog park, performing stage, public seating and an urban plaza.
  • High Park project, by the Beltline Neighbourhood Association, is a rooftop public park and event space in the Beltline serving as an exciting destination for residents and visitors to the city.
  • Better Bike Racks project, by the Beltline BIA, aids in placemaking and creating more vibrant streetscapes, while also providing functional bicycle parking.
