Are those cobblestones?  On Kingston Road in Birch Cliff??

Okay, maybe the official term is “decorative pavers”.  Either way, it’s a vast improvement over what was there previously.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference in a neighbourhood.

I wonder, though, why they’re only one one side of the street.

    hm… the style guide doesn’t specify where. i wonder if there is another document with more detail:
    “Kingston Road between Victoria Park Avenue and Birchmount Road will be reconstructed with construction expected to begin in 2012. The new reconstruction will incorporate, at a minimum, new road, new curb, new pavers at the curb and a new sidewalk. Where the right-of-way allows it, there will also be new tree plantings. Where there is a full 26 metre right of way, there will be new tree planting, a reorganization of the pedestrian clear way, if required, and street furniture. New street lighting is also proposed along the north side of Kingston Road, as none currently exists, but there has been no commitment from Toronto Hydro to date.”
