Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
They should name it after the two streets that intersect right by it: Victoria-Dundas Square Square.

To me any official name of this square is trivial, and I shall always refer to it as Kyle Rae Square.

I have always called it Dundas Square...and always will. The only thing I do agree on is changing the Toronto Life Square name. Don't even name is. Is the big billboard tower in Times Square have a name. I don't think so. It's called 1 Times Square. We need to bring Dundas Square closer to Times Square.
ALREADY DONE:
- TV Station (CityTv)
- Billboards
- Jumbotrons
NEEDS:
- Broadway Shows
- More outside stores (to the left if your looking at CityTV)
- more EVERYDAY entertainment
- Merge the Toronto Life Square and Yonge-Dundas Square to Dundas Square
GET RIDE OF:
Fountains
The name of "Toronto Life Square" (Very confusing)

Maybe...although wouldn't it be nice if the Toronto square had its own unique identity? I don't think we want to just copy Times Square...
welcome to UT btw, dev...........

It's alright to be inspired by Times Square, but there's no point in imitating it. Why get rid of the fountains? They're enjoyed by kids and for the cooling effect. They also add interest to the streetscape.
Yonge has several theatres, various street performers and hundreds of individual stores fronting it already.

Yonge-Dundas Square has been renamed to 1 Dundas East?

Well, it's on the south side of the street, so naturally, it would have an odd street number.

1 Dundas East is too logical. It would be something like "277 Yonge Street"
