Big Changes Proposed for Downtown Yonge

A new, privately financed planning study of Yonge Street, released yesterday at a press conference but sadly not available for download, is a document that tries to imagine a future for the stretch of Toronto’s main drag that runs between Dundas and Gerrard streets—a future that (literally and figuratively) rises above the strip’s present-day character. Which is why it’s interesting that a portion of the $40,000 paid to KPMB Architects and Greenberg Consultants Inc. to conduct the study was provided by Allen Cooper, owner of Zanzibar strip club.
