Community Design Workshop
A Community Design Workshop was held on February 6, 2010 at the Harbourfront Community Centre. Representatives of various community groups and stakeholders were invited to participate. The planning and policy context for the project, along with the three technically feasible alternative designs for the ramp from the eastbound Gardiner to York, Bay and Yonge Streets were presented to the participants.
Following the presentation, participants were organized into groups. Each group considered the three feasible alternative. Through brainstorming, discussion and drawing, each group explored the potential impacts and opportunities associated with each of the three alternatives. Resource materials provided to participants are included here:
