Tewder,
I agree completely - this is starting to be done in some areas (e.g. Bloor Vision Study), but unfortunately the City Planning Department has been a victim of many staffing & budget cuts and they don't have the organizational capacity to do a lot of the 'visioning' work that needs to be completed to allocate sec 37 funds or infrastructure funding in a cohesive and comprehensive manner that would stitch together communities and enhance the streetscape.
Such a shame, and all the more so given the levels of development that have been happening over the past five or ten years. Bay Street north of Queen should be a beautiful urban residential thoroughfare by now, given all the development funds that could have been harnassed to this end.
