Canadian Urbanism Uncovered

St. George Street signage we can get behind

These photos are from a mobile LED display on St. George Street taken tonight on the U of T campus. Rumour is it’s the handiwork of a group called Cars Off Campus. Check out a quick video clip of it on the Newmindspace website [9.1 MB].

UPDATE: seems this post garnered a lot of attention. Over at EcoGeek.org 153 comments were posted about this intervention: some people called it genius, others claimed it was endangering people’s lives by altering a road sign (someone even called them terrorists!). Well worth the read.

  1. awesome sign…just rather sad that in that clip only two cars go by (one is a cab)…why St. George and Harbord at night? Not only is it dead, it’s potentially preaching to the choir. Yonge St maybe? Yonge and the 401 maybe? That sounds better.

  2. I walked past it yesterday at 6:30 p.m. and besides the great messages it was
    letting everyone know about a lecture that night on Sustainability.
