Toronto can be beautiful if we choose to make it so. But too often, our urban design strives for the height of mediocrity and even falls into disrepair. Our bike lanes are lined with broken flex-posts, our CaféTO patios are surrounded by construction hoarding, and our Astral garbage cans are broken and overflowing. Our public realm can be so much better – and Torontonians deserve that. This motion seeks to create unified public realm design standards across City divisions and the public realm portions of private developments, so that our public spaces can match those in great cities around the world. Further, it explores the creation of a new position, a City Architect and Designer, responsible for implementing and coordinating these standards across every corner of our city. When we move into a new home, the first thing we do is design it in a way we can be inspired by and proud of. We should treat our city the same way.
