Title: The San Romanoway Community Revitalization Project: Interim Report
Summary: Privately owned and managed by Greenwin Property Management, the two buildings at 10 and 25 San Romanoway along with the condominium at 5 San Romanoway are part of what we call the San Romanoway Revitalization Project (Toronto). The San Romanoway neighbourhood consists of three high-rise buildings at the north-east intersection of Jane and Finch and is well known as the entranceway to Jane and Finch Corridor. Together with these buildings, a recreation centre is present (15 San Romanoway), which is primarily used as a daycare facility. In total, there are 892 units with a total population of approximately 4000 people, of these, approximately 2200 are said to be children and youth. These three buildings form a community neighbourhood within the larger Jane-Finch Community. It has now been over two years since the San Romanoway Revitalization Project kicked off at the north-east corner of Jane Street and Finch Avenue. In the intervening period, considerable community interest, time, and energy has been expended in the pursuit of a better quality of neighborhood life. The primary purpose of this Interim Report is to relate the findings of community crime research conducted in the Fall of 2004 and to compare the results to baseline data obtained 28 months earlier through the summer of 2002. This is largely accomplished through a comparison of data collected from residents answering a Quality of Neighbourhood Life Survey and supplemented by data from four focus groups. The San Romanoway community has experienced some significant changes in the two years since the Revitalization Project was implemented. Nonetheless, this is an Interim Report precisely because new initiatives are on the way and others have just begun. Indeed, in the 28 months of programming thus far, the San Romanoway Revitalization Association did not have any bona fide “centre” from which to effectively coordinate its programming. Moreover, community sustainability and crime control simply cannot be administered on an ad hoc basis.
