^^ You don't need glasses. The area has more new businesses than almost any other area in the entire city. Think about the new sleek restaurants like Room Service (west of Glenholme), and Sofra Grill (at Dufferin), Agio (at Lansdowne). These are quality independant businesses that have literally moved the garbage out of the neighbourhood. Someone is blind but it definetely isn't you. I also live directly on the ROW.
I really need to get out with a camera to show this renaissance of this avenue as this is the only picture online of a new restaurant that I have found.
The right of way hasn't been planned well from day one, and it hasn't been executed properly from the narrow sidewalks and the legnthy construction to the insane (this is an understatement) traffic. I've seen restaurants in my neighbourhood go from all day operation to weekend only, this is how bad it got at its worst. But now that the construction is wrapping up and the storefront improvement project has significantly improved the aestetics of the area... A complete change of the neighbourhood for the better has already come.
Every single street corner in Corso Italia has decorated X-mas trees and there are speakers mounted on the sidewalk poles playing Christmas carols straight from Dufferin to Earlscourt Park. It really is something different, there is no doubt St. Clair is an avenue to invest in. Period.
