Midtown Yonge Blooms:
A Greener, More Sociable Oasis
Midtown Yonge has become a haven of greenery and social connection with MYBIA's innovative streetscape project. In collaboration with the City of Toronto and PLANT Architect Inc., our streets are now adorned with stylish planter-benches that invite both residents and visitors to pause, relax, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

These aren't just benches; they're living pieces of art that breathe life into our urban landscape. They offer a respite from the hustle and bustle, a place to enjoy a coffee, chat with friends, or simply watch the world go by.
​
This initiative goes beyond aesthetics. It's about fostering a sense of community, encouraging social interaction, and supporting local businesses. When people linger and enjoy our streets, they're more likely to discover the gems that Midtown Yonge has to offer.

This project is a testament to the BIA's commitment to making Midtown Yonge a welcoming and vibrant destination. It's a reminder that even small changes, like adding planter-benches, can have a big impact on the way we experience our neighborhood.
