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 />

DRAFT<br />

Street furnishings help to provide a functional and attractive environment<br />
