	Eye Weekly - Bare Square dares - 06.12.03
		Dundas Square tries to be many things to many people: tourist magnet, meeting place, advertising platform, entertainment venue, public forum.
		Officially, Dundas Square is owned by the city, whereas other civic spaces are publicly owned (it's the same difference that exists between streets and sidewalks, which are public, and City Hall, which is city-owned).
		Though the square is governed by the same rules and regulations as other public spaces in Toronto, its legal distinction as city-owned allows for the use of private security personnel to enforce the by-laws on public squares (often ignored elsewhere) 24 hours a day.

		Officially, Dundas Square is owned by the city, whereas other civic spaces are publicly owned (it's the same difference that exists between streets and sidewalks, which are public, and City Hall, which is city-owned).
		As evidence, they point to the April 29 arrest of Brandie Kaye for drawing on the ground with chalk in the square, and to the case of Adam Tiessen, another artist, who was banned from the square and fined $70 by the police for chalking a peace sign on April 22.

	Dundas Square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dundas Square is located within the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (BIA), which city councillor Kyle Rae has pointed to Times Square in New York City as a model to emulate, with its canyon of billboards and animated advertising screens.
		The surface of Dundas Square is not level, because it is sloped upward as the surface goes away from Yonge Street.
		The square is surrounded on all sides by gigantic commercial billboards; with city funds going towards what appears to be a large re-development experiment, many have pointed to the square as a prime example of the creeping privatization of public space.

		A collection of pictures and documentation of Dundas Square, as an "urban beach", at the heart of downtown Toronto.
		The hypotenuse features a raised cement structure, on eleven cement pillars, that beautifully mimics the raw industrial aesthetic of of the Gardiner Expressway, using the same kind of cement pillars that are used to support automotive overpasses.
		Six small trees were recently planted, along the south edge of the Square, which I was afraid might excessively soften the wonderful hard industrial raw ``edge'' defined by the steel light stands.

	Dundas Street, Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dundas Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, also known interchangeably as Highway 5 west of Toronto, is a major arterial street which forms a major intersection with Yonge Street where Dundas Square and the Toronto Eaton Centre are found.
		Dundas Street is the address of the Art Gallery of Ontario, which takes a full city block on the south side of the street, at the corner of McCaul Street, just west of University Avenue.
		Dundas Street's route through the city of Toronto is irregular, ignoring the general east-west axis of the city's streets once it is west of Dufferin Street.

	Old and New
		As for enclosure, Urban Strategies consultant Joe Berridge believes the square "lacks the definition provided by buildings on three sides." The lack of a centre point isn't fatal, he believes, but feels strongly that edges are required.
		Defenders reiterate that they are working on "programming" the square with a mix of non-profit and corporate events to ensure that full, not empty, will be the normal gas gauge reading.
		I am not lobbying for a Naked Cowboy in Dundas Square (he would no doubt be banned for life) but understand: it takes only one nearly nude man to make passersby ignore the cyclone of advertising that is Times Square.

		Introduction The Dundas Square remodeling project is exploring the issues expressed through the tension between rights and securities, as seen through the dynamic of surveillance and privacy.
		The Dundas Square remodelling project is one that has the ability to express this tension because it is both a public place and an owned space.
		It is for this reason that the concept of a square has been chosen to explore the tension between ownership of the self, versus ownership of public space, a discourse that is a pervading undercurrent in conceptualizing the millennial technopolis.

		In the case of Dundas Square, as the article tries to express in the 700 words I’m alloted, the overall benefits are tangible.
		Yet, when Dundas Square was finally revealed, of the several design flaws I saw/felt, one jumped out at me. It is the same mistake seen at Nathan Phillips Square(oh I’m sorry, I forgot it was forbidden to critize Nathan Phillips) – that hard, massive concrete Northern edge.
		At Dundas I can watch the inground fountains soak my kids and laught but Dundas is not a destination while NP is. I still like Dundas and think it is a brave move and anything different is a very easy target for critics.

	SIGNAGE: Make a Spectacle
		In Toronto's Dundas Square area, the latest strategy to swell pedestrian traffic involves a new steel advertising tower that is 232 feet high.
		Nonetheless, the Dundas area-particularly along Yonge Street-had seen a decline in the quality of retailers in the last five to ten years.
		Cadillac Fairview, the owner of Eaton Centre, and the Ellman Cos., owner of the Atrium on Bay, together approached the city with their vision of how to revitalize the area, one component of which was the tower construction.

		In Dundas Square there are no amenities except public washrooms (installed because local businesses are tired of having their restrooms flooded by Yonge Street protestors) and a ticket booth.
		Stage: The focal point of the square, as unintentional as this may be.

	Eye Weekly - Dundas Square stalled - 12.21.00
		Linda Grayson, Ryerson's vice-president of administration, says she's not particularly worried that the blueprints for the cinema in the massive redevelopment of the corner of Dundas and Yonge Streets have been downsized.
		But whatever is currently on the other side of those tall navy hoardings, Dundas Square was supposed to be downtown Toronto's response to Times Square.
		Contrary to reports indicating the project was going to be completed sometime next year, Iversen now says Dundas Square is 16 to 18 months from completion.

	NOW: By permit only, May 15 - 21, 2003
		In early March, Adam Kiesen was making a giant peace sign in the snow with his feet when a Dundas Square security guard (employed by subcontractor Intelligarde, the same outfit that protected the homeless from the Pope Squat) started wrecking the sign, telling Kiesen the war was justified before allegedly flicking a cigarette at him.
		He was banned from the square for a year, and Brandy Kay was arrested for "mischief.'' She was eventually released on the conditions that she would not go to Dundas Square and would never be in possession of chalk.
		With over 32,000 square feet of advertising looming over the place (the cheapest bit of which is one second of video for $1,000), there's no chance that you'll be unable to think of anything to rush into the adjacent Eaton Centre to buy.

		The name Dundas square was probably first used in the Eaton Centre plans circa 1966, although that was the name of the south west corner of Dundas and Yonge streets, not the south east as it is today.
		The Dundas Square remodeling project is exploring the issues expressed through the tension between rights and securities, as seen through the dynamic of surveillance and privacy.
		The focus for the Yonge Dundas Square PIA will remain more tightly on the conceptual analysis rather than the data-flow analysis, as the latter requires data flow mapping, which is an intensive practice often requiring multiple meetings and iterative analysis over a number of months rather than weeks.

		Yonge and Dundas, pre-construction, was a gritty corner in the heart of the downtown core.
		On one corner would be Dundas Square, with a budget of around $10 million, all coming from the city.
		The architects designed the new square to be "an urban savannah" that "creates a pause in the excited activity of the Yonge and Dundas intersection." There would be water fountains, fancy lighting reminiscent of New York City's Times Square, and a concrete stage.

		I can’t help but feel, though, that Rae might be right in a way — Dundas Square is a catastrophe, and will remain so until a natural disaster comes along and wipes the slate clean.
		There is no indication that the concentration of signs in the one-block radius of Yonge and Dundas has at all reduced the number of new billboards granted variances in Rae’s ward.
		Dundas Square, as it is now, is rather gross.
