Beltline Pedestrian Tunnel

Photo of a pedestrian tunnel on Dufferin St. in Toronto painted in colourful stripes

Location: Dufferin Street south of Castlefield Ave.
Date photo taken: 7 July 2016

It's hard to believe that only a few years ago this underpass tunnel was a community eyesore, unwelcoming and filled with litter. Today you feel like you're being led into wonderland. When asked for feedback on the project the community responded that they wanted colour. Mission accomplished! The multicoloured treatment on the pedestrian tunnels was done in tandem with a mural project on the adjacent road underpass. The project was led by STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Spaces) in partnership with Friends of the York Beltline and the local councillor.
