Jury Comments
A strong vision that unifies the central waterfront while respecting the episodic experience of the place, this scheme demonstrates the transformational power of a tree-lined allee. It is playful yet bold, reducing road width in favour of pedestrians and bikes, while making important connections to landmark destinations beyond the waterfront. The wood bridge will be a future city icon.
