The ease and instant transformative effect of paint has resulted in a tipping point where such interventions risk being ubiquitous and less surprising in the contemporary urban context... Bentway Approach: Work With the Structure The Bentway employed gold paint to capture and reflect daylight, bringing a fresh, transformed and human experience to this aging piece of transportation infrastructure. Patina & Aging Unlike paint which shows dirt and aging quickly, gold marries well with the existing Gardiner palette and patinas well as it ages. Furthermore, it sets up a surprising counterpoint to the weatherworn structure.

  • Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel
    Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel September 23, 2016 4:58 pm | by Julian Mirabelli | 13 Comments Public spaces are taking centre stage in Toronto as of late, as the City is investing millions—and possibly even billions—in bringing world-class public spaces to our expanding metropolis. With the recent completion of celebrated spaces such as Sherbourne Common and Corktown Common, to the soon-to-be-complete revamps of Grange Park and Berczy Park, to the high-profile Under Gardiner and Rail Deck Park projects coming our way, Toronto is poised to become an international leader in public space design. Next up on the docket is a complete overhaul of Moss Park, a highly visible—and highly contentious— park at the corner of Queen and Sherbourne Streets just outside the downtown core. Spearheaded by The 519 and funded by all three levels of government, the Moss Park project—affectionately called More Moss Park—aims to completely redesign the poorly organized plot of land to provide more amenities and better services to its diverse group of users. The proposal includes a brand new building by MJM Architects with sports facilities, gathering spaces, and services, and a completely reconfigured park designed by Dutch landscape architects West 8. Aerial view of the park, looking southwest, image courtesy of the City of Toronto. The concept behind the proposal is one of openness and inclusion, with a host of flexible and multi- purpose programming hoping to cater to the disparate current and future user groups that form the Moss Park community.

  • Rail Deck Park Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The proposal for Rail Deck Park (RDP) comprises the construction of a decking structure over the rail corridor in downtown Toronto between Blue Jays Way and Bathurst Street to facilitate the development of approximately 20 acres of new parkland with associated pedestrian / cycle connections as shown in Figure 1. (Potential inclusion of the Metrolinx- owned property at the southwest corner of Spadina Avenue and Front Street increases the size to 21 acres.) In 2017, an Engineering and Costing Study for Rail Deck Park was undertaken by Build Toronto and consultants WSP and McMillan Associates Architects, in consultation with the City of Toronto. This document provides a high-level summary of the findings from that study. Figure 1 - Rail Deck Park Study Area The purpose of the study was to produce a comprehensive reference design concept for RDP with a specific focus on the technical aspects of the site and surrounding areas including: • Topography, landforms and physical features; • Rail corridor and yard operations, initiatives and constraints; • Geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions; • Structural solutions; • Archaeological considerations; • Construction methodologies; Executive Summary – Rail Deck Park Engineering & Costing Study Report Page 1 of 10 • Vibration and sound attenuation; • Utilities; • Traffic and transportation; and • Permits and approvals. The study did not involve specific design or programming for the park itself. Instead it incorporated assumptions concerning potential future park design elements to inform the requirements for the decking structure. Reference Design Concept The reference design concept for RDP was developed from the “bottom up” utilizing data that was collected from various sources. The design concept was informed by a tabletop review of existing conditions that was undertaken at the onset of the study.

The focus groups were held at various locations across the GTA, facilitated by Bespoke Cultural Collective and Groundswell Projects (consultants and collaborators), and were designed in collaboration with Waterfront Toronto’s Communications and Engagement and Planning & Design teams, City of Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation staff, as well as key design team members. The focus groups invited important, yet under-consulted, audiences to engage in meaningful and lively conversations around the future of park design in our city, including how to make our public green spaces more inclusive, welcoming and user friendly. This first section of the report, ‘Project Background’, outlines how the focus groups were conceived, how targeted audiences were selected, as well as the agreed upon goals for this consultation activity. 1. OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION Throughout the development of the Port Lands Flood Protection project Waterfront Toronto has prioritized timely and meaningful consultation with a variety of user groups, including stakeholders, adjacent communities and the general public.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

In particular, investments in Environmental justice large green infrastructure projects (LGIPs) such as New York's High Line have contributed to displacing long- Urban green space term low-income residents. Many consider environmental gentrification to be an important environmental Park nonprofits justice issue, but most of this research has focused on distributional justice; that is, quantifying whether LGIPs Sustainability have indeed contributed to gentrifying neighborhoods around them. Limited work has focused on procedural justice in the context of environmental gentrification, or how planning processes can shape project outcomes. This is a particularly critical oversight because many LGIP planning processes are led by nonprofits, a govern- ance model that has already raised important equity concerns in the context of planning and maintenance of smaller neighborhood parks. Yet less is known about the impacts of park nonprofits leading LGIPs. To address these gaps, we study the planning process of the 606, a rails-to-trails project located in Chicago, U.S. that contributed to environmental gentrification.
