Why is this story here?
ContainedA bounded decision affecting one neighbourhood's wayfinding and community identity. Section 37 funds are already budgeted community benefits money being directed to a specific, localized use. Reversible and limited in institutional scope.Touches a narrow groupStreet signage affects residents and visitors in Bedford Park directly but in a discrete way. The effect is visual and wayfinding-related rather than a change to daily commute, housing, services, or access. Narrow geographic reach.

Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
