Angela and Ryan understood that the new King Street Pilot needed to do more than move people more quickly and efficiently. King Street had to be a place where people would want to stay and linger. Their idea, #WouldYouRatherTO, was one of the 10 winning projects that would form a series of attractive curb lane public spaces along King Street.

#WouldYouRatherTO is a physical-digital interactive art experience that brings people together through friendly banter. Inspired by the fun, youthful energy of the Entertainment District, Angela and Ryan hope that the informal community poll would be a conversation starter for office workers, club goers, and families who walk by.

How does it work?

1. 1. Answer the monthly “would you rather” question by spinning one of the two-coloured buoys to the colour of your choice.

1. 1. Snap a photo and share your own question with the hashtag #WouldYouRatherTO for a chance to be featured next month.

#WouldYouRatherTO is open to the public at King St and Spadina Ave, in front of Aroma Espresso Bar, until the end of December 2018.
