The City of Toronto entered into a contractual agreement with Astral Out-of-Home in 2007 for the installation and maintenance of up to 25,000 street furniture elements over the 20-year term of the agreement. This program is a public-private partnership wherein Astral manufactures, owns, cleans and repairs all of their street furniture within the City of Toronto, at no cost to the taxpayer, in exchange for managing the advertising rights on the transit shelters and info pillars.
If you have a request for a new street furniture element or request to re-locate one, you can submit a request online at https://www.toronto.ca/311 , or you can call 311.

Streetcar/Bus Shelters on King St.

TO360 Wayfinding Project
A wayfinding system enables people to orient themselves and navigate from place to place with confidence. Wayfinding is more than signs, it includes the consistent use of presentation of information such as landmarks, neighbourhoods, destinations, and connections that help residents and visitors navigate a city.
The TO360 on-street sign family includes wide signs, narrow signs, finger posts, wall-mounted signs bike share station maps, and transit shelter walking maps. Further information can be found by visiting TO360 Wayfinding.
