Summary
StreetARToronto (StART) was launched in 2012 as a public/private partnership program and a central feature of Council's new Graffiti Management Plan, a proactive approach to eliminating graffiti vandalism while supporting street art that adds character and visual interest to city streets. StART is funded yearly as a Community Partnership and Investment Program (CPIP) with a grant of $375,890.00 from the former Graffiti Transformation Program. It is administered by the Public Realm Section in Transportation Services, which also has carriage of coordination and implementation of many parts of the Graffiti Management Plan. StART is part of the City's Clean Toronto Together Campaign, which links citizens with city government to keep Toronto streets clean and free of posters and graffiti vandalism. This report recommends funding for 19 projects delivered by community-based organizations in 2014 under the StART Partnership and StART Restoration and Education (RE-StART) Programs.
