Summary
King Street West is one of our city’s best cultural and business corridors, home to many of our theatres, entertainment venues, restaurants, retail, and many other businesses that put Toronto on the world map.
As our city continues to invest in our culture industry and in our small businesses, King Street West is one of our finest destinations but it needs support to continue to be a place people want to visit throughout the day, throughout the year, and for many different reasons. Investing in the King Street West corridor is essential to maintaining its status as a premier cultural and business destination.
