The streetscape should not only respect and reflect the community-
atmosphere, but also involve the local talents of the neighbourhood:
from the designers, to the trades, to the artists, to the craftspeople
of the area. There is a wealth of talented individuals that could
participate in the upgrades to the street.
BE GREEN + BE COLOURFUL
No one can deny that what immediately humanizes a public space
is the presence of planting: tall deciduous shade trees, flowering
annuals, perennials, and shrubs, window boxes, planters etc.
Initiatives that the Dundas West BIA have done thus far such as the
St. Clarens-Dundas Parkette renovations, annual planting within
tree pits, and new murals have been received positively by the * articles to support how public space and parks have supported local and
community. Seasonal planters in front of storefronts give a sense regional economies
of pride and welcoming to passers-by. What is also obvious is the
community pride of its Portuguese, Brazilian, Latin and Vietnamese Yorkville Cumberland Park
cultures, reflected in the display of flags on storefronts, during http://wx.toronto.ca/inter/mte/mte.

give an immediate response and expression of cultural identity and
the unique brand of the BIA. The streetscape should be full of life Provincial Parks and Trail Systems

CONNECTIONS VS.
COMPETITION
3 Every BIA undergoes its own unique
branding, marketing and streetscape
2 strategy, to distinguish itself from
others. This is an essential part of
differentiating itself from other BIA’s,
to express the unique offerings of
the place in terms of retail, food, and
services.

However, there are opportunities
to enable neighbouring BIA’s to
connect to each other, as an
“umbrella identity” connected simply
1 F
by its geographical vicinity. A visitor
from North York may choose the
Parkdale-Roncesvalles-Dundas
F West Circuit to target weekend
5 shopping and chores. It could
be a win-win situation to not only
identify with nearby BIA’s but to
7 also physically connect to them.
Certainly the light fixtures, planters
or paving selection will be unique to
the BIA’s, but the common language

3. STREETSCAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
DOS OF DUNDAS WEST STREETSCAPE STYLE DONTS OF DUNDAS WEST STREETSCAPE STYLE
DO be contemporary, unique or sculptural in site furnishings DONT be extremely traditional or overly slick
DO be bold in layering planting, paving and special features DONT install items too small or too big for the space
DO keep it modern; consider the frequency of lights and effect DONT be nostalgic, overly ornate or complicated
DO be consistent and “curate” all artwork and furnishings DONT succumb to artistic “one-offs” that are easily dated
Businesses in Bloorcourt Village maintaining Example of an inviting legible storefront display in Little Restaurant in Roncesvalles Village that used the
heritage assets of building Italy on College Street City’s Facade Improvement Program
Background
The Façade Improvement Program is administered by Economic Development
and provides funding to private property owners to redesign, renovate or restore
commercial or industrial building facades. Eligible improvements include, but are not
limited to, brick cleaning, restoration, wheelchair accessibility, doors, signage, windows,
lighting and masonry.
Funding Calculations
Half of the cost of eligible improvements to commercial or industrial building facades
is covered and will be based on the lowest contractor estimate submitted with the
application. The minimum grant is $2,500 with a maximum of $10,000 for non-corner
properties. A corner property is eligible for a maximum $12,500 in funding.

STOREFRONTS + SIGNAGE
CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF THE STREETSCAPE
Regardless of how spectacular the trees, lights, furnishings and
paving on the sidewalk is, the streetscape is highly dependent on
the cooperation of property owners and businesses to maintain an
attractive inviting storefront, and little to no vacancies on the street.

MAJOR INTERSECTIONS
GATEWAYS TO DUNDAS WEST
While the limits of the DWBIA are the intersections at Lansdowne
Avenue and Rusholme Road, the major intersections are considered
as Lansdowne Avenue and Dufferin Street. The treatment of these
intersections will be considered “major gateway treatments” since
the scale and context of these intersections are dictated by two
arterial roads coming together.
Special paving across the street Bold ornamental groundcover planting and Unique sculptural structures integrating
pedestrianises roads and sidewalks alike large trees add to special entry treatment lighting effects can used as gateway features

MINOR INTERSECTIONS
A RHYTHM OF SPECIAL “MOMENTS” ALONG THE STREET
Minor intersections are all those intersections excluding Lansdowne
Ave and Dufferin St. Within these minor intersections is a hierarchy
of treatments: a minor gateway treatment; and a bump-out or
pedestrian crossing treatment. Both treatments entail enhancing
these critical connection points to the neighbouring residents and
communities with a special “moment” that could include special
planting, special paving treatment through crosswalks, artwork,
or even benches in combination with the side flankages (see next
section). Bump outs are recommended on one-way streets that
meet with Dundas to increase pedestrian space and provide shorter
crossings when walking along Dundas Street.

SIDE FLANKAGES
OPPORTUNITIES TO INHABIT AND BEAUTIFY
Side flankages are those wider-setback areas adjacent to corner
building units that front onto the smaller streets intersecting with
Dundas (i.e. Sheridan or Brock Avenues). Often, they are excellent
opportunities for restaurants and cafes to provide an attractive
outdoor patio such as at Gladstone Ave. They are also often used
as much needed on-site parking or loading areas for patrons and
business employees.
Action + Phasing
Consider kick-off parkette projects at side-flankages on Sheridan Ave, south
side, and Rusholme Drive, south side. Pursue permissions and detail design
immediately, and aim for implementation next year.

SIDEWALKS
PAVING TREATMENT REINFORCES PEDESTRIAN REALM
Often when traveling to any large city in Europe, people are
impressed by the extent of stone-lined or cobble streets. At one
point in Toronto’s history, the roads were lined with cobble, but they
have since given way to the more affordable (and less liable) asphalt
and concrete paving. A special paving treatment adds another layer
to pedestrianising the street, of subtly suggesting to passers-by to
stroll, versus walking hurriedly, along this stretch of Dundas.
Action + Phasing
Consider special paving treatment at intersections as a priority, or within kill
strips. Only install in the short-term along sidewalks should opportunities
with City Transportation projects permit. Consider installing servicing and
Stone paving treatment on retail strip in Denmark infrastructure simultaneous to these works.

STREET FURNITURE
FURNISHINGS REINFORCE THE BRAND OF THE BIA
Street furnishings (including benches, lighting, trash receptacles,
bollards, canopies, planters, signage) add to the layer of expressing
the brand and identity of the BIA. As a general guideline, they
should be fairly consistent throughout, with some flexibility for
unique furnishings associated with parkettes and/ or plazas at side
flankages.
The style and quality of the street furniture should reflect the
forward-thinking brand of the DWBIA, while also reflecting its
global roots and community-driven approach. Furniture should
be fairly contemporary and colourful, yet warm and inviting to sit
on, to touch, or to look at. Art and heritage elements can also be
incorporated in street furniture (see Art, Culture + Heritage section).
Action + Phasing
The BIA should hold-off on implementing any street furniture until there is
coordination with the City of Toronto’s Coordinated Street Furniture Plan,
to see how BIA’s can maintain their unique brand through site furniture (see
http://www.toronto.ca/involved/projects/streetfurniture/pdf/tabia_minutes_
2006-03-21.pdf)
Stage any site furnishings with installations at flankage sites or with special
treatment at intersections.

DUNDAS WEST BIA STREETSCAPE STRATEGY 28
3. STREETSCAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
LIGHTING
FOR A VIBRANT STREET LIFE AT NIGHT
Lighting for BIA’s is an essential component of encouraging a vibrant
and safe nightlife. It beautifies the street, and helps attract more
restaurants, cafes, theatre or entertainment amenities into the area.
Action + Phasing
Consider implementing infrastructure towards future lighting within next
couple of years, particularly where City Transportation or Works may already
be doing significant road work. Research efficient methods of solar lighting.

Architects and City of Toronto Economic Development
General guidelines for implementation over the next 5-7 years are as
follows:
SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES
The short-term goal should be to seize opportunities when they
occur, for example, when City Transportation, City Works, Toronto
Hydro, or TTC are already demolishing or renovating road and
sidewalk works, the DWBIA should immediately be involved
to negotiate with these departments any potential to advance
streetscape plans. These are significant opportunities particularly
with installing otherwise costly infrastructure works including
electrical lines and conduits (see first point next page).
BE PREPARED
The DWBIA will need to prepare detail design and construction
drawings for approval with applicable City departments, as well
as the requirements for the terms of reference for the Tender.
Furthermore, the BIA will have to be able to commit to any
maintenance or operations consequences (see next point). In all
likelihood, the DWBIA will have to retain or release a tender for the
services of a landscape architect or design consultant to prepare
detail design and working drawings. Typically, these fees for full
services (detail design through to site supervision) could range from
7-10% of the construction costs. To save on consultant fees, certain
details (i.e. kill strip, tree pit details, bump-outs etc.) may already
have been developed through City Transportation or Economic
Development for previous BIA’s, in which case the DWBIA could
choose to use those details for minor streetscape elements, and
use the consultant’s time and abilities more productively for more
comprehensive projects.
DO EQUAL PARTS INFRASTRUCTURE + VISUAL IMPACT CONSIDER NON-CAPITAL PROJECTS AND TASKS NOW
Logically, for new public realm projects, infrastructure works There are numerous exercises that the DWBIA can do immediately
including underground servicing, grading and road works are done to improve the state of the existing streetscape before any
