  • Tower of Power Or Tower of Babel? Making Active Transportation Work in a Big City
    Tower of Power or Tower of Babel? Making Active Transportation Work in a Big City David B. Richardson, P.Eng., PTOE, Senior Project Manager, WSP Paper prepared for presentation at the Cycling in Canadian Communities: From Planning to Implementation Session of the 2017 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada St. John’s, NL ABSTRACT The so-called "Mirvish Project", comprised of two 90-storey twin towers located on King Street West in downtown Toronto, represents a unique opportunity to showcase how Active Transportation (AT) can change travel behaviour and public perceptions about "big development" in an urban core. This paper focuses on all of the non-single occupant vehicle (SOV) modes that will be key to the success of this redevelopment project, with a particular emphasis on the tiny amount of motor vehicle parking, but the huge amount of bike parking to compensate. Detailed below is a compelling story of how a 2,000 unit condominium with retail, an art gallery and a College campus can function successfully in a congested environment with virtually no available roadway capacity for motor vehicles. To make it all work, however, over 2,000 dedicated, indoor bike parking spaces are provided, together with an aggressive Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan plus high capacity transit, carshare, bikeshare and pedestrian facilities. This infill project balances the preservation of designated heritage buildings with stunning architecture by the world-renowned Canadian architect, Frank Gehry. The project has numerous unique design and operational features that are highlighted in this paper and corresponding presentation, to elaborate on how City policies and creative infrastructure can attract residents to cycle for both commuting and recreational purposes.
