Let's Talk about the Public Realm - December 2014

For this project, the public realm includes all of the outdoor spaces located within Minoru Park, such as landscaping, wayfinding, pedestrian and vehicular circulation and parking. 

We invite you to review the proposed design of the public realm and provide comments that will assist in further refining the detailed design.

The following principles have been developed to guide the design direction of the public realm.

• Support the role of Minoru Park as a signature park
• Establish a unique identity and civic role for Minoru Park
• Respect and build upon the history of the park site
• Promote health and wellness for the community using Minoru Complex and the park
• Improve the site’s ecological function
• Provide flexible spaces that can be adapted to a wide variety of users and community programming
• Create strong visual and physical links to the facilities, park and adjacent neighbourhoods

Please review the display boards and plans in the Document Library above and give us your feedback!

The first two questions relate to the three planned plazas immediately surrounding the Minoru Complex. Boards 7, 8 and 9 describe these plazas in more detail.
