Jarvis is loaded with gorgeous buildings from a huge variety of eras, it is a smorgasbord of architecture for anyone who cares to look.
I agree that there are plenty of very impressive buildings along Jarvis. In fact, I believe that the Jarvis courthouse and the Sears building are two of the most underappreciated buildings in the city! However, the smorgasbord makes for an unappetizing whole, especially when you consider the gas station at Jarvis and Wellesley, the Harvey's at Jarvis and Gerrard, the stripmall at Jarvis and Dundas and other disasters.
Adding some unifying elements to the existing sidewalk such as nicer street furniture and more plants will go a long way to improving the street. As someone who used to live just off Jarvis, I have to say that the traffic never bothered me, so eliminating the middle lane seems so unnecessary.
