I still want to know why there are 18+ poles at this intersection.

I mean, I know why, but I want to know why the City / Toronto Hydro / TTC think it's acceptable at possibly the most touristed / photographed intersection in all of Toronto.

There are so many poles EVERYWHERE because it is apparently easier to put your own pole up than work out a sharing arrangement with another utility. Totally stupid but .... (The intersection of Wellington and Scott is even worse as they used HUGE poles for traffic lights!)

Because they don't think?

I kind of wish there were an east-west crosswalk in the centre though.

Maybe they should put in a full all-cross like Yonge-Dundas.

It's a very confusing crossing and a full cross might actually work well.

It's an interesting idea but I think the distance from the opposite corners is pretty long. How long would it take a slower pedestrian to get from say the northeast corner all the way over to the southwest?
