Personally, and I know I am in the minority here, I have no problem with the overhead wires. They are a unique quirk of Toronto and the wooden poles allow for the posting of advertisements which showcase events or independent retailers- you never see big chains advertising on these poles.
Now in my opinion to greatly improve our public realm we need to create small squares or piazzas if you will. At intersections or busy pedestrian areas build smaller squares with a statue or fountain in the middle and cafes/pubs/restaurants around it. Place some gardens and benches and voila! Public Realm!
My two cents...
