Green Network The following drawings illustrate enhancements to the network of green or open spaces based on the principle that existing green spaces should improved and connected to each other by linear green routes. Of particular significance is the lower campus green, which could be greatly improved by the following means:

• limiting vehicular traffic to it, which would make it safer for pedestrians, more visually appealing, and would reduce the need for asphalt paving;

• redeveloping the grades around Arts and Macdonald Engineering to provide elegant, appropriately-scaled forecourts to each building;

• and simplifying and expanding pedestrian connections across the green.

Dr. Penfield is highlighted as example of how a City street that runs through the campus can be made greener (and more pedestrian friendly) by narrowing pavements and adding street trees. Similarly, the link from the Life Sciences area to the Reservoir is illustrated as a McGill route that can be 'greened' as well.

This could include the following improvements:

• removing surface parking (approximately 200 spaces with the exception of barrier free and key service spaces) and regular vehicle traffic from the lower campus and replacing it with a structure under lower field (400-700 spaces)

• working with the City to remove street parking on lower McTavish and converting it to a two-way street that dead ends at the University Centre to reduce vehicular traffic at this busy node

• working with the City to remove or reduce street parking on Penfield and University north of Pine in order to narrow the pavement and improve the pedestrian realm.
