In 2009, the City of Toronto approved the “City’s walking Strategy” which aims to

create an environment where walking is an appealing, convenient, safe and stimulating

experience for residents and visitors.

​

The scope of this program consisted of a family of wayfinding assets, including totems

and finger posts, totalling in excess of 200 products on-street.

​

This scheme of iconic street furniture successfully accomplished the client’s goals, by

actively increasing walking in the city.

​

Some of the striking design features that help set these items apart are:

• Unique foundation design without cover plates to obstruct the base

• Tapered totems to allow wheelchair access directly up to the totems

• Brail lettering on all totems

• Unique, intuitive mapping system
