Is the park going to be bigger than before?

 

[interchange42]

Nope, but it might feel a bit bigger for the way that Scott Street will be treated on the west side of it. (It's getting woonerfized.)

... and because the sidewalks on both Front & Wellington will match the park paving and blend into it.

Would be interesting to know why the cat came painted, but the dogs don't appear to be. Maybe UT can do a feature on them painting the dogs?

I still see this being a dog fountain with just one cat. Those look like the faces of Pugs so I'm not sure it can be trademarked as a cat fountain. Although that's a good idea that we need more whimsical fountains (that work!) in the core, including cats. Malmo, Sweden has various cat sculptures around. At this rate Toronto could have animal sculpture and fountain walking tours, starting with the Financial District cows, to salmon, to...

Looks like those are pugs, actually!

Those are definitely pugs, and certainly not cats. I also like the touch of the metal studs around the fountain, like a studded leather collar. How did this thing get past the Toronto Whimsy Police?

I propose moose, raccoon, and bedbug fountains.

I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I would like to see the first two very very much.

I would love to see a fountain version of the squirrel sculpture.

In thinking about it, it's a bit bewildering that Toronto, the raccoon capital of the world, doesn't have some sort of notable public art celebrating(?) that fact.

I recommend you start playing Pokemon Go.

Yes, please!

No love for the bedbug fountain?

(A family of raccoons should be walking along the edge of one of the bowls in their fountain.)

Perhaps there could be an overturned green bin at the top...

Surrounded by squirrels ripping apart flower pots.
