I don't know. Does Bloor need a spruce-up? That stretch is dull and slavish, and I'm not convinced that swooshy planters are even going to appease the "let's pretend we're Chicago" crowd.
Babel: I think you've got a point, I'm just not sure how to run with it. The problem with city-wide standards here is that, if a BIA wants to effect change in their neighborhood on their own dime, shouldn't they have the freedom to do so - within, of course, a set of standards? Isn't the concept of local ownership the whole point of BIA's and neighborhood associations?
I haven't researched this, so I don't have the proverbial "friggen clue how things work" either (and thank-you Sam for your contributions). But I'm not sure that Malvern can wait. If anything, wouldn't streetscape improvements (in whatever form they'd be found up there) offer more relevance and value for money than they would being on this ridiculous stretch?
