3.2.4 Street Furniture<br />
Street furniture contributes to the creation <strong>of</strong> a unique<br />
streetscape, and can be used to identify significant<br />
destinations within the <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s, such as<br />
Lakeshore Drive and the waterfront, the historic Downtown,<br />
the Primary and Secondary <strong>Intensification</strong> Nodes, the historic<br />
Allandale neighbourhood, etc. In addition, street furniture is an<br />
essential component <strong>of</strong> a pedestrian-supportive streetscape,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering opportunities for rest, social interaction, and casual<br />
surveillance.<br />
a) Street furnishings should be developed within an overall<br />
concept and should provide a consistent and unified<br />
streetscape appearance that is appropriate for the area<br />
context.<br />
b) Street furnishings should be placed in a coordinated<br />
manner that does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular<br />
circulation.<br />
c) Street furniture should be placed so as not to impact<br />
sidewalk maintenance, particularly snow removal.<br />
For additional guidelines related to street furniture within the<br />
Mixed-Use Main Streets, please refer to Section 5.2.<br />
