Master Plan identifies John Street as 'spine' of downtown Toronto

On Tuesday June 16th, The Toronto Entertainment District Business Improvement Area successfully launched its Master Plan – a vision for the future of the Entertainment District that will ensure the needs of existing and future businesses, residents, tourists and Torontonians are harmonized with the area’s ongoing transformation and revitalization.

Essential within the Master Plan is the identification of John Street as the central spine of Toronto's cultural body, akin to New York's Broadway or London's West End.

Entertainment District BIA executive director Janice Solomon said the completion of the Master Plan provides a shared vision that empowers council, developers and businesses to work together. “As the City of Toronto continues to grow, the Master Plan will help ensure that the Entertainment District continues to transform in a coordinated and desirable way.”
