  • Music Strategy Downtown Yonge Bia June 2015 Is Music Important to Toronto?
    MUSIC STRATEGY DOWNTOWN YONGE BIA JUNE 2015 IS MUSIC IMPORTANT TO TORONTO? Research shows that the arts matter to Torontonians in diverse and profound ways. Not only do arts and culture contribute $11.3 billion to the city’s economy every year, they also employ 174,0001 people. The arts bring tourists to the city, help support local business, and create a more livable city. Music, in particular, is dear to Torontonians. The city is the largest music market in Canada, the fifth largest in North America, and home to record labels and recording studios, plus both commercial and not-for-profit music enterprises2. WHAT DOES MUSIC HAVE TO DO WITH A BIA? Quite a lot, as it turns out. An effective BIA develops a keen understanding of economic development opportunities for its businesses and its district economy. Typically, competitiveness comes from offering something unique— something that is irreplaceable. The idea of a music strategy is to preserve a distinctly unique Toronto experience and connect that to a distinctly unique Toronto future, to generate economic vitality. Perhaps most important is the role that a BIA can play to advocate for the music sector with federal, provincial and local funding agencies. Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (DYBIA), for example, acts a facilitator and partner in support of various music events, including: • DYBIA partnered with MonstrARTity to secure funding through the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund (OCAF) to present the Monster Rock Orchestra on Yonge-Dundas Square in May 2015; and 1 Toronto Arts Foundation, www.torontoartsresearch. • DYBIA’s summer ambassador team, which has been partly funded by Service org/artsfacts Canada in the past, works as event support throughout the summer months.

  • Long-Term Urban Road Restrictions During Special Events Kevin
    D Long-term Urban Road Restrictions During Special Events Kevin Phillips, P.Eng., AVS, Manager, Municipal Transportation, URS Canada Inc. Tia Nguyen, P.Eng., Transportation Engineer, Traffic Engineering & System Planning, URS Canada Inc. Paper Prepared for Presentation at the “Special Event & Incident Management Case Studies and Best Practices” Session of the 2014 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Montreal, Quebec Page 1 D ABSTRACT Numerous special events and festivals (i.e. Celebrate Yonge, BuskerFest, Summer in the Village, etc.) occur annually throughout the City of Toronto, notably within the downtown core, to provide enhanced and extended pedestrian realms (which is a desirable urban condition since pedestrian needs and movements are significantly higher than vehicular movements in the downtown urban core area). These events create a desirable attraction for additional walking and cycling traffic (active modes of transportation); however, there is the need for partial or full road closures along arterial road networks to accommodate these events. This results in displaced vehicular traffic as ambient traffic patterns are required to detour along alternate adjacent routes. In order to facilitate the implementation of these public realm enhancement projects, a transportation program was developed to plan, implement, and monitor the impacts of these projects. This was especially important given the emphasis on multi-modal and sustainable transportation planning wherein transportation planning must address all vehicular, cycling and pedestrian travel modes. To quantify the magnitude of the impacts in traffic patterns during these special events, turning movement traffic counts (TMCs) were conducted during Friday AM and PM peak periods for pre-event and during-event conditions along the road network within the study area.

  • NEW MURAL to ADORN DOWNTOWN YONGE Polaris
    NEW MURAL TO ADORN DOWNTOWN YONGE Polaris Music Prize winner will have giant poster on side of building TORONTO September 12, 2019 – The Downtown Yonge BIA is partnering with Polaris Music Prize to add a third music mural near Yonge and College – one that will change annually. Each year for the next five years, a poster created to celebrate the Polaris Music Prize winner will adorn the side of the TTC building at 21 Granby St., near where two permanent murals commemorating Toronto’s musical history soar over the city. “Murals are an eye-catching art form with a huge ‘wow’ factor, which is great for visitors and residents alike,” says Downtown Yonge Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director Mark Garner. “Toronto should be very proud of its music, past and present, and the murals celebrate music in a big way – literally.” Polaris Music Prize annually honours Canadian music artists, as determined by an expert jury of broadcasters, bloggers, programmers and other media authorities on Canadian music. Unique posters are created each year to commemorate the winning artists. “Our posters are a vibrant and integral part of our annual celebration,” says Steve Jordan, founder and Executive Director of the Polaris Music Prize. “We’re honoured and grateful to the DYBIA and the TTC for literally making our poster program even bigger, and for including us in their efforts to illustrate Yonge Street’s musical history.” The Polaris Music Prize mural on Granby St. will face west toward Joseph Sheard Park, enhancing the recent revitalization of the park that includes a walking path, drinking fountain and garden.

  • Remaking Downtown Toronto: Politics, Development, and Public Space on Yonge Street, 1950-1980
    REMAKING DOWNTOWN TORONTO: POLITICS, DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC SPACE ON YONGE STREET, 1950-1980 DANIEL G. ROSS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2017 © DANIEL G. ROSS, 2017 Abstract This study explores the history of Toronto’s iconic downtown Yonge Street and the people who contested its future, spanning a period from the 1950s through to 1980 when the street was seldom out of the news. Through detailed analysis of a range of primary sources, it explores how the uses and public meanings of this densely-built commercial strip changed over time, in interaction with the city transforming around it. What emerges is a street that, despite fears for its future, remained at the heart of urban life in Toronto, creating economic value as a retail centre; pushing the boundaries of taste and the law as a mass-entertainment destination; and drawing crowds as a meeting place, pedestrian corridor, and public space. Variously understood as an historic urban landscape and an embarrassing relic, a transportation route and a people place, a bastion of Main Street values and a haven for big-city crime and sleaze, from the 1950s through the 1970s Yonge was at the centre of efforts to improve or reinvent the central city in ways that would keep pace with, or even lead, urban change. This thesis traces the history of three interventions—a pedestrian mall, a clean-up campaign aimed at the sex industry, and a major redevelopment scheme—their successes and failures, and the larger debates they triggered.
