All costs and insurance requirements associated with the parklets are to be borne by the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area and its agents. In July 2019, the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area is proposing a parklet and greening project within the limits of existing street parking spaces along the east side of Victoria Street between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East. Parklets are sidewalk extensions that provide space and amenities for residents and visitors to stop, sit, and rest while taking in the activities of the street. Parklet installation have been implemented with great success in the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area catchment area over the last two years and have enhanced the area's general pedestrian and retail experience. All costs and insurance requirements associated with the parklets are to be borne by the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area and its agents.
