BRING THE CITY TO THE WATER...

THE SITE IS AN IMPORTANT GATEWAY WHERE THE CITY MEETS THE WATER AND THE WATER ENTERS THE CITY.

The historic expansion of Toronto’s urban territory into the inner harbor is now complete, and the water’s edge is being redeveloped as a premiere public space by the Waterfront Strategic Plan. However, the connections along the major axis still need to be strengthened, in order to knit the public spaces of the city streets to those at the water’s edge.

THE CITY SLOPE

The City Slope is a civic extension of Bay Street. It is a social carpet that connects citizens with each other and that connects city with the water. Within the tight canyon framed by towers on the site, it marks an urban gateway as well as a place of gathering at the waterfront, lifting people up and out over the harbour. It is fully accessible through an integrated ramp and stairs, which also provides the perfect place to sit in the sun, eat lunch and look back toward the city. Beneath the City Slope are located the City Rooms, large spaces accessible from the park. The one further north is a multipurpose community room and closer to the water is a cafe and beer garden with long, communal, outdoor tables that overlook the harbour. The operable glass can fold away in the summer so that these spaces become extensions of the public realm. It is proposed that the private access driveway be removed from that zone, since it is only for private vehicle access being too low for emergency or service vehicles, and is a poor use of this prominent yet constrained civic space. Access to the condominiums is preserved while public access is amplified and prioritized. THE CITY SLOPE

... AND THE ISLANDS TO THE CITY

THE JACK LAYTON CITY TERMINAL PARK CREATES AN EXPERIENCE OF THE ISLAND WHICH STARTS IMMEDIATELY UPON ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PARK The Landscape strategy borrows a series of distinct landscapes from the Toronto Islands, as well as Southern Ontario, and organizes them in a series of north-south bands across the site, each with its own character and identity. The dimension and planting strategy for each band is informed by existing geometries, patterns and landscapes already present on the site. In some cases, existing conditions are augmented, and in other cases, entirely novel landscapes are transplanted on to the site. Moving from east to west, past the Conservatory Garden and City Slope, the Landscapes are: the Grove, the Forest, the Playscape, the Dunes, the Pool and the Wetland Sculpture Park.

THE LANDSCAPES

The diverse landscapes of the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal Park are unified by the Belvedere, which crosses and connects them, while also providing a unique vantage point for their enjoyment. A cantilevered boardwalk will be constructed along the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge from the York Street Slip to the ferry docks, with protected shoreline habitat restoration below. All of the plants chosen will consist of hardy local species, well suited for the harsh waterfront conditions. Where possible, existing trees will be kept in place, or transplanted to other areas in the park. Ground surfaces will be permeable wherever possible, and will be designed to retain and process all rainwater runoff on site. This strategy recognizes the need for this masterplan to be implemented in stages, over time and perhaps by multiple authors. This reality is embraced as a way to create a unique series of landscape destinations while creating a strong overall identity.

The landscape at the west end of the site adjacent to the York Street Slip is treed with aspen, birch, maple, and several large weeping willows. This area is also the current home of the public sculpture Sundial Folly.

THE POOL

The current inlet provides an ideal place for a large urban swimming pool creating a unique experience otherwise unavailable with in the central waterfront. Instead of using treated municipal water, the pool will deploy the latest technology to filter and clean lake water from the harbour through an engineered wetland biofiltration system located along its southern edge. This will reclaim the harbor as a public space while using mechanical, passive, and ecological filters that showcase a sustainable use of water. In the winter, the pool will be allowed to freeze into a skating rink which can accommodate an NHL sized hockey rink, so that the park remains a lively place of pleasure and play throughout the year.

It is planted with Ontario apple and crabapple trees, which bear fragrant blossoms in the spring, and fruit that can be harvested by community organizations in the Fall for local canning and preserves. The crabapple trees will also attract bees and other pollinators, which will help ensure the health of the other plants and trees on the site.

Light-colored permeable paving makes a continuous and porous ground surface upon which is a plantation of America Elm trees, arrayed to help organize lineups for entry and tickets, while keeping the ground cool under visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feet. The American Elm, a hearty, drought tolerant species that is resistant to Dutch Elm Disease, has recently been introduced into the City of Toronto as a majestic street tree. Its presence in the Grove will further enhance the continuity of the space of the city into the waterfront. Existing trees are protected with raised planters. Benches between the trees provide convenient places to rest while waiting.

THE PLAZA + THE YONGE STREET LOCK

The Yonge Street Slip is conceived of as an extension of the public spaces of the Jack Layton City Terminal Park. A new paved civic area along the Yonge Street Slip opposite the Light House Terminal will provide a large public plaza for gathering and infrastructure for public events like open-air markets and festivals. This is also the eastern access point for the Belvedere. The raised promenade of the Belvedere spans the Yonge Street Slipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;previously an impediment to pedestrian travel along the waterfrontâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with a dramatic cantilevered swing bridge, which pivots open to allow large ceremonial vessels into the slip. The opening of this lock is infrequent and will create a public event and memorable spectacle at the waterfront. The lock mechanism is inspired by those used in the locks and bridges of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, and creates a relationship to the industrial past of the waterfront.

the city and the island. Raised 6.5m above the ground, it allows for the Waterfront Promenade defined in the Central Waterfront Strategic Plan to pass uninterrupted above the restricted ferry operations zone, without compromising its continuous view and connection to the water. It transforms the Waterfront Promenade experience into one like the deck of a ship, expanded to the city scale to provide overlook for the activities of the Inner Harbour and the excitement of the arrival and departure of the ferries. The Belvedere is paved with the two-tone granite mosaic cobbles of the Strategic Plan, and planted with a double row of maple trees. The fascia is lined in mirrored glass to reflect the harbour and the islands into the space of the city: a horizontal monument that disappears. At night, lights behind the glass illuminate the line of The Belvedere, turning the Jack Layton City Terminal into an urban landmark: a horizontal monument, visible from the water.

I’d love to be able to eat lunch outside somewhere.

We want a neighbourhood park we can enjoy year round.

Is this the way to the ferries?

How do we get to our patient?

Where does the line even start? Is this park public?

Where will I unload all these tourists?

Where can I deliver these packages to island residents?

How can I safely drop my children off for the Island School ferry?

We’ve been standing in the hot sun for two hours! Where can I store my cart?

Where is my community park?

Mom, where can I play? Is this where we wait?

I wish I could have a better view of all the harbour activities!

It would be great if people could watch all the action in the harbour.

Can I fish here? How do we get across to the rest of the waterfront?

We should be part of an integrated transit system. There is nothing for me to eat! THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE SITE IS FRAGMENTED, DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE AND LACKS VISIBILITY

Where do I go from here? We need to load this ferry as quickly and safely as possible.

NETWORKS OF PARTICIPATION IN TOURISM AND RECREATION

The Jack Layton City Terminal Park is part of a large network of recreation and tourism in the City of Toronto and occupies a unique position mediating between the cultural activities and institutions of the City and the Islands. It can be strategically integrated with Toronto’s community, recreation and tourism networks and can serve to further amplify certain activities. The Pool hosts community swimming lessons in the summer and sponsors learn-to-skate programs for new and old residents to Toronto. The Orchard is tended to by community organizations such as Not Far From the Tree, inspiring and connecting the cities residents to a productive and beautiful idea of landscape. The City Rooms act as community meeting rooms and are part of the Park, Foresty & Recreation large network of Recreation

USER NARRATIVES SPRING: ISLAND RESIDENT

She is approaching the Light House Terminal. The line reflects her arrival, the mirror reflets her confidence. She is beautiful today, she surely is.

Riding her bike, she meets Jack Layton on his bike too, happy as she is. She waves at him while following her road through the city terminal

The view from the city slope allows the island resident to appreciate the city. She quickly turns on to The Belvedere to go to the sculpture garden.

She finally found a resting place for reading and the endless pleasure of being outside, under the sun, close to activities.

SUMMER: WATERFRONT VISITOR

This charming couple is in town for the first time. Taking pictures is part of their experience; we prefer to be tolerant of those actions - who would not enjoy the presence of the battleship Algonquin?

Look at those love birds: that lady is having such a great time that she is singing out loud! I will stop my comments so you can appreciate the beauty of the moment.

Summer days are best to spend the entire day outside - our friends are right to take a break in the cool water. Changing cabin first, swimming suits on, enjoy yourself without restraint.

They will come back in winter to take more pictures and do some ice skating. That is for sure.

AUTUMN: ISLAND SCHOOL CHILD

The tourist map these two friends found at the bus stop might help them explore the Jack Layton City Terminal Park.

By noon, they discovered a place to rest and have a healthy lunch. Even after an half day journey, they look forward to what is to come.

They decided to split there for their research of a secret spot. Or maybe Elizabeth felt annoyed about the lizard brochette Jim ate for lunch. Anyways, younger kids are still enjoying the playscape for the rest of the afternoon.

His dad came and asked, “How was your day at school son, did you have a good time with your friends?” The boy answered, “It was a usual day Daddy, usual.” Please children, do not lie to your parents.

WINTER: FOREIGN TOURISTS

Those French tourists thought Canada was about Maple syrup and slushy roads... they forgot about the ferry boat.

Those French tourists thought running shoes were appropriate for Canadian winters - get your moon boots on folks.

Those French tourists are happy about their hot spiced apple drink from the Harbour Cafe

Those French tourists just now understood how Canadiens spend their spring break: under tropical heat.

YEAR ROUND: WATERFRONT RESIDENT

Molly and I took part of this entire new universe - she likes it pretty much, the activities, the kids yelling myself, I might be an old grinch.

Times have changed around the waterfront. I remember the deserted Harbour Square, the old terminal... now it is populated.

After a season of movement I think I am used to it those people coming everyday to have fun gave me inspiration...I might start to write again, maybe about these people.

We went to the greenhouse today. Molly likes the tropics, its greenness, if I could say, its generosity... myself, I might stay an old grinch.

PHASE ONE: YOUNG DESIGNERS COMPETITION + CITY SLOPE SCAFFOLD

The concept for Phase One of this project is to introduce a series of installations on the site of the Jack Layton City Terminal Park that will create public excitement and support for the future transformation of the site. These will be a testbed for some of the proposed design elements and will correspond with the proposed landscape bands. Phase One will consist of two parts: a temporary installation of the City Slope consisting entirely of scaffolding, and a design competition between Canadian design schools for installations relating to each of the distinct landscapes proposed for the site. The temporary preview installation of the City Slope will be built out of scaffolding and will include cutouts for existing trees so that none have to be transplanted at this stage. This will provide an ideal vantage point for the sailing races and other Inner Harbour events, as well as for fireworks displays during the summer months. This installation will also provide the design team with user metrics and feedback that will be used for subsequent environmental assessment reports and in the refinement of the masterplan and design components over time. The design competition, run by the primary design team, will be an open call for young designers in art and design schools across Canada to construct landscape-based installations for each of the distinct thematic bands in the proposed Jack Layton City Terminal Park. These installations will showcase emerging Canadian design talent and will remain as public art landmarks in the completed park, in their original locations wherever possible.
