Very happy to see the streetlights integrated into the catenary poles, here - hopefully those wooden ones will come down afterward!
I like the streetlights integrated into the catenary poles, but too bad they are going with conventional cobrahead luminaires and arms instead of luminaires on the catenary poles that were more decorative/contemporary/urban. You'd think that at least in the areas where one of the BIA's has jurisdiction (the UpTown BIA has jurisdiction on this stretch of King) and can pitch in a bit of funding for streetscaping elements that something a little better could have been used.
I am thinking something along the lines of what was used on St. Clair Ave West in Toronto (albeit no on the catenary poles, but could easily have been done): https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.6867645,-...56!5m1!1e1
