St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association1 year ago Streetscape Improvement:Courthouse Square Park on the north side of Court St. has been identified as warranting investment in furniture and maintenance in 2026.This PB Project suggestion is to plant flowering, climbing, annuals (such as wisteria) in all nine of the tall obelisk-style planters on the north sidewalk of Court St. between Toronto St and Church St., in advance of the upcoming investment in the Park itself. Eight of these street planters are currently empty, but for weeds; one contains a struggling wisteria plant.The cost estimate for this project is modest. Large plants and new soil will cost $500 to $1,000, and the labour to clean up and replant the planters should be no more than $2,000. Total cost estimate (budgetary purposes only) = $3,000.

St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association1 year ago The digital information kiosks proposed are self-serve, interactive computer terminals with touchscreens, which would provide users with access to a rich mosaic of information about the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood. Kiosks like these are commonly found in public spaces. They enhance resident and visitor experience by offering a convenient way to find directions, event schedules, neighbourhood details, and other useful information. Two digital kiosks are proposed for this round of PB, both to be installed outdoors; one near the St. Lawrence Market, one in a second high traffic pedestrian location, for example near Meridian Hall.Content would be provided by the SLNA and would include information about the rich historical context and many heritage assets in the neighbourhood, including the original ten blocks of the Town of York (1793), the St. Lawrence Heritage Conservation District, the St. Lawrence Market District, the internationally recognized mixed use housing developments along the Esplanade, Historic Queen East and others. A number of self guided walking tours would be curated and included to encourage visits to various of these neighbourhood highlights. An event calendar would be included, as well as information about current and previous SLNA projects in the neighbourhood.Usage tracking would be included in the kiosk's digital platform, providing a measure of interest and justification for future investments in additional kiosks.Examples of the hardware include 32" angled kiosk and and 49" slim touch 4K kiosk from Signcast Media and the 22" Twana Desk kiosk from ESII.Cost estimates (budgetary purposes only): hardware @$5,000 each; power connection @ $1,500 each design; data mapping; initial data upload @ $5,000 - $7,500 (total) monthly licensing costs; operating costs - not included Total project estimate $20,000 - $25,000
