Extraordinary citizens want to stay out of the sun, however, and don't mind shadows to stay protected. The sun only causes skin cancer.

You're joking, right?
If you aren't, you should be made aware that 99% of Toronto citizens are ordinary people who want to enjoy the sun.
 
So, tonight they are testing that big black media board and the whole area from Bay to Church is lit up like a nuclear blast going off. Cycling colours, that area's brightness, from my POV, (and crappy iPhone capture) just doubled. There are going to be complaints. Guaranteed.

 
By me

Wow that thing is bright. I'm sure the nearby residences won't like the added light pollution.
 
There are new residential buildings that are now illuminated by this sign, east and west of what was previously illuminated.
 
The sign was so bright that light was bouncing off the adjacent office buildings and into my unit in the Yonge and College area. Hopefully it was only that bright for testing, but if it is going to be like that at night then surely there will be lots of complaints. Here are some pics I quickly took from my cell phone from my viewpoint:

Wow, that is crazy bright, I would hate to be directly affected by that light pollution at night.
 
Times Square is about 100 times brighter and they have thousands of condo's near by. I stayed at the DoubleTree over looking Times Square and never had an issue with light, the black out curtains worked well for sleeping. At night watching TV I didn't have to turn the lights on in the room, i just the left the curtains open.

With all due respect to amateur astronomers, Dundas Square is not the best place for star-gazing, and this new display makes it that much worse for them ;)

yep. if you hate random light and noise, why live anywhere close to Yonge/Dundas? It is the last place you want to be.
We seem to be good at complaining about everything. It is Yonge/Dundas, not Bayview and Leslie.

Sure that's true, but that photo makes it appear crazy bright.
