The Quayside Master Plan incorporates a series of innovations around transportation, social infrastructure, housing affordability, digital tools, sustainable infrastructure, building construction, and public space – with the goal of improving quality of life for Torontonians.
The Master Plan drawing on the right illustrates extensive pedestrian pathways, four people-first flexible streets that prioritize pedestrian movement over vehicles, robust cycling infrastructure, as well as four new open spaces that make up the public realm. A grand public space at Parliament Plaza ends Parliament Street at Lake Shore Boulevard East to create a multi-functional and large gathering place that supports a variety of public programming. A new “cove” at the head of Parliament Parliament St Slip brings residents, workers, and visitors to the water Lake Shore Blvd East through promenades, floating docks, naturalized edge, and barges. The Silo Park, which is a major green and recreational center for the community provides spaces for dynamic recreation. And the Queens Quay linear park which comprises of wide sidewalks for flexible programming, dynamic drop-off areas, outdoor comfort tools, dynamic paving, and buffers for stormwater management.
The 2025 Quayside Master Plan is the basis of the master Bonnycastle St plan documentation on the following pages except where Small St Parliament noted. St Silo Plaza Queens Quay East

QUAYSIDE PLANNING SUPPLEMENT QUAYSIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN 7 QUAYSIDE MASTER PLAN 2035
The 2035 Master Plan on the right shows an evolution of Queens Quay East that recaptures car lanes and curbside parking to create a bigger, more varied public space. The wide adoption of self-driving vehicles and their programmable and predictable behavior will enable these vehicles to share the light rail transit lane, eliminating the need for the remaining vehicle lanes on Queens Quay East.

The interchange at Quayside is a nexus of bike-share stations, pedestrian paths, light rail and bus stops, a Small St parking garage, and ride-share pick-up and drop-off points that enables easy transfers across every travel mode. It serves as a centralized location for drop-offs, pick-ups, and transfers in the bustling centre of the neighborhood.
Travelers who arrive to Quayside by car or public transit can rent bikes or scooters to complete the last leg of Bus Stop their trip, or choose to walk through the expanded and improved pedestrian network. Alternatively, residents can Travel Hub use bikes and scooters to arrive at the mobility hub, where they could board a light rail vehicle or bus — or access personal, shared, or hailed vehicles — to reach destinations across greater Toronto.

72 QUAYSIDE PLANNING SUPPLEMENT QUAYSIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN ACCESSIBLE DESIGN & DYNAMIC CURB DETAILS Queens Quay
Accessible Design Principles: • Barrier-Free Access: Curb less Public Realm to facilitate wheeled movement. Primary building entrances and lobbies located at grade without ramps or stairs.
• Detectable Edges and Moveable Elements: Clear separation between pedestrian areas and vehicular travel lanes or other hazards which can be detected by persons with visual and mobility requirements. Use of detectable edges that use contrasting texture and color of pavement to define separation. Use of moveable elements such as seats, planters, and/or play equipment to define separation. The moveable elements are spaced between 1m and 1.2m apart to allow mobility devices to move between them with ease.
• Pedestrian Crosswalks: Located at all intersections, pedestrian crosswalks are defined by paving of contrasting color and/or texture, as well as raised tactile domes indicating beginning and end of crosswalk.
• Accessible Drop-off and Pickup: Permanently designated curbside spaces allow drop-off and pick-up for persons with accessibility requirements, and are always located within 30m of primary building entrances.
• Proximity to areas of rest: All areas are within 5 minute maximum journey to shade or indoor space, and within 2 min of a place to sit.
• Transit Waiting Areas: TTC bus and light rail waiting areas are at grade or easily accessed by ramps in central and convenient locations.
• Accessible Routes: Meet and exceed in certain areas, the City of Toronto minimum standard of 2.1m clear width for two people using mobility devices to travel side by side and/or pass each other with ease.
• Clear Lines of Sight: Clear visual lines through public spaces for safety and navigability.
• Lighting: All areas of public realm are illuminated at nighttime for safety and to avoid hazards,and select areas also make use of lighting during daytime hours as well. At Queens Quay Slow Zone, the TTC light rail line makes use of dynamic lighting at crosswalks and preceding each train passing through. Dynamic curbside spaces make use of paving lights to indicate when they are available for use. Bike lanes make use of green wave lighting in the surface of bike routes to indicate to pedestrians Queens Quay Dynamic Curb: Pick-up/Drop-off Scenario Queens Quay Dynamic Curb: Pop-up Program Scenario when bikes are passing through.

Commercial and residential storage is tucked into the structural transfer truss above the UCC, making efficient use of that space. A borrow library is located nearby, which allows rental of tools for woodworking, home repair, gardening, and more.
