I love plants and I often take note of trees, gardens and other arrangements as I'm out walking. On Yonge Street in the area around the Summerhill TTC station, a lot of sidewalk real estate is given over to planter boxes. According to Toronto's Street Use By-Law, the city's Business Improvement Areas are allowed to encroach on public space to install certain enhancements, which include things such as public art, historical markers, street furniture and planter boxes. Beautiful!
