The section of Dundas Street West stretching between University Ave. and Bathurst St. is an important tourist destination and is recognized as a potential creative corridor for the City of Toronto. In 2010, the City commissioned a streetscape study for this section of the street to improve the quality of the public realm, identify distinct character areas, tie together diverse neighbourhoods, and create a cohesive and interesting pedestrian experience.

Working with regionalArchitects, ERA prepared historical studies to identify character areas and highlight the role of different communities in the city’s development.
