portfolio. The existing portfolio of signs were all built prior to amalgamation and are
located in 3 of the 4 new community council areas. {city report}
Allvision remit was to update the overall aesthetics of the signage, they did this by solicited offers from qualified bidders to modernize and replace the existing portfolio of signs, the city report claims the result was a significant upgrade in terms of appearance and quality, which could be said to be true looking at the before and after images from the report.
The columns have been designed by internationally renowned designer Jeremy
Kramer (designer of new street furniture in Toronto).

Mr. Lorne Persiko, Vice President, Real Estate & Development on behalf of the Toronto Parking Authority, for approval of variances for a newly designed Illuminated, Trivision Ground sign at 400 Keele Street.
