Master Plan Approach Infrastructure First Existing Parks New Parks Connections Ownership Primary users Secondary licenses Clearances and setbacks Update facilities where possible Introduce new programming Retain existing vegetation Introduce new plantings New materials, details and furnishings Open and flexible green spaces Recommendations for facilities and programming Enhanced plantings New materials, details and furnishings Introduce over time Generous and accessible paths Sidewalks Crossings Streetscape improvements Update over time
esign Strategies The Green Line= Parks + Streets Together Combine public space within and adjacent to the hydro corridor to strengthen the overall sense of place. A Seamlessly Connected Path Create an unmistakable route weaving through the various parcels and public rights-ofway. Flexible Spaces and Programs Offer choice and support a wide range of uses and users with limited space. Unique esign Elements Introduce seating, lighting, materials, and details that are unique and identifiable to the Green Line. Planting for Bio-iversity Transform leftover spaces into beautiful and ecologically valuable habitat. Repetition to Reinforce Connectivity Bring a clear sense of unity, consistency, and cohesiveness to the many parts, creating a greater whole.
