Bloor Street Transformation

thoughtful urban design revitalizes a key intersection in a city’s premiere retail district

Location: Toronto, ON
Phase: Under construction, 2009
Size: 1 km

The Bloor Street BIA Street Transformation will revitalize the stretch of Bloor Street between Church Street and Avenue Road, to reflect its status as Canada’s pre–eminent shopping district. The project will also create a ‘red carpet’ for the cultural cornerstones of the Bloor–Yorkville neighbourhood: the newly refurbished ROM, the restored Royal Conservatory of Music, and the expanded Gardiner Museum.
