Committee Recommendations

The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee recommends that:

 

1.         City Council approve the modified design of the InfoToGo Pillar under the Coordinated Street Furniture Program, as set out in this report, and illustrated in Attachment "1" to the report (June 13, 2011) from the Acting General Manager, Transportation Services, and authorize the exchange of design rights for the new design with Astral Media Outdoor LP.

Origin

(June 13, 2011) Report from the Acting General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The City of Toronto entered into an Agreement in 2007 with Astral Media Outdoor LP for the manufacture, supply, installation and repair of over 25,000 elements under a Coordinated Street Furniture Program, including the provision of 120 information and directional way-finding structures (InfoToGo pillars). A number of issues have emerged with the design and placement of the pillars, leading Astral Media, in consultation with staff, to propose a modified structure to replace the existing design.

 

The proposed new design, with a more compact footprint and smaller dimensional profile, remains compatible with the design theme of the overall street furniture program, and also provides the foundation of a more comprehensive tourist way-finding system.

 

The proposal also provides an opportunity for enhanced revenue generation to be shared by the City pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, with this opportunity further supported by roll-out of the info pillars this Fall. The proposal does not alter the restrictions on advertising contained in the agreement.
