Toronto's Newest Improvement Area: Bloor

"The scheme, conceived by Architects Alliance and Brown & Storey Architects, both of Toronto, would transform the city's most important shopping district into something quite spectacular. Sidewalks would be paved with granite and enlarged. Elegant stainless steel street furniture — planters, bike racks, garbage bins, lamp standards, newspaper boxes and the like — have already been designed; they are intended to help make Bloor look like the destination it is rather than the mess it has become."
