It provides background on the study area along Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner Expressway from Lower Jarvis Street to Leslie Street. The study includes developing and evaluating alternative designs for the Hybrid option endorsed by City Council in 2015. It outlines the work completed since June 2015, including developing three Hybrid Design Alternative concepts and evaluating them. It also discusses the goals and principles guiding the study to revitalize the waterfront, reconnect the city to the lake, balance transportation modes, achieve sustainability, and create value.
Gardiner East EA Public Forum 3 (Feb062014) - panels
The document provides an overview of the Future of the Gardiner East Environmental Assessment and Urban Design Study. It discusses:
- The study area, which is the section of the Gardiner Expressway East/Lake Shore Boulevard extending from west of Lower Jarvis Street to Leslie Street.
- The goals of the study, which are to revitalize the waterfront, reconnect the city with the lake, balance modes of travel, achieve sustainability, and create value.
- Consultation activities conducted so far, including stakeholder meetings, public forums, online engagement, and social media, engaging over 5,000 individuals.

The document proposes transforming a 3km stretch along Toronto's waterfront by converting an existing elevated highway into a new mixed-use neighborhood called THE GAR. It involves reconfiguring the landscape around the highway to incorporate public spaces, parks, and new development. The proposal aims to reconnect disconnected neighborhoods by creating a continuous public space network and improving north-south connections across the rail corridor. It outlines phases to gradually reduce reliance on the highway by adding pedestrian and transit routes over time.
Public Forum 2 - Display Boards
The document summarizes public consultation for alternatives to replace or modify the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. It provides information on how people currently get downtown in Toronto and comparable traffic volumes. It then outlines objectives of the public consultation process and the first round of consultation, which engaged over 5,000 individuals. Key ideas presented to the public are summarized. The document also provides examples of other infrastructure projects and evaluates them based on criteria like age, costs, impacts. Finally, it outlines the development of alternative solutions for the Gardiner Expressway based on public input and lists the evaluation criteria for comparing the alternatives.
Remove oma+amo boards
The document proposes a plan to reconfigure the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto by removing the upper deck and transforming it into a grade-level boulevard called Lakeshore Boulevard. This would open up opportunities for new north-south connections between neighborhoods and the waterfront. A key part of the plan is creating a new transit hub called a Transferium where several transit lines intersect, including a proposed relief subway line, GO commuter rail lines, and streetcars. This would improve transportation connectivity. The plan aims to unlock Toronto's waterfront as a place for future growth through new development districts linked by improved transit infrastructure, while focusing growth near the city center through smart growth principles.

The document proposes a design called "Four Flows" to reconfigure the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. It focuses on improving access to the waterfront for people ("Flow 1") by removing the elevated expressway and replacing it with an underground tunnel and new boulevard above. This would open up land for development ("Flow 4") while maintaining the existing traffic capacity ("Flow 2"). It aims to enhance the natural environment along the waterfront and Don River through new parks and green spaces ("Flow 3"). The proposal argues this integrated approach will improve quality of life for residents while providing economic benefits from increased development opportunities.

The document proposes transforming the area under and around the Gardiner Expressway through a series of interventions that stitch the space into the surrounding neighborhoods. Some key interventions include:
1. Creating a new linear park along the rail berm with bike paths and green space.
2. Pulling Lake Shore Boulevard out from under the Gardiner and opening up the space for new uses like retail and community programs.
3. Filling the underside of the Gardiner with "soft architecture" containing both commercial and public programs to facilitate pedestrian connections between neighborhoods.

This document proposes replacing the elevated Gardiner Expressway east of Jarvis Street in Toronto with a new below-grade road network and transit system. Key elements include an embankment road on the railway corridor with tunnels connecting it to the Don Valley Parkway and Lake Shore Boulevard east of the Don River. Traffic analyses found this new network would support existing traffic volumes while enabling development and improving connectivity between the city and waterfront. The proposal aims to stitch Toronto back together with its lakefront.

The proposal recommends removing the elevated Gardiner Expressway and replacing it with a new Gardiner Tunnel and a new Lake Shore Boulevard. This would revitalize the Gardiner Expressway and Keating Channel Precinct in a way that is innovative, economically sound, and creates a vibrant waterfront district. The proposal is based on allowing four flows - of people, transportation, natural systems, and development - to harmoniously interconnect in the site through the new infrastructure changes.

The document proposes a plan to redesign the Gardiner Expressway/Lake Shore Boulevard corridor in Toronto. It suggests reducing the amount of space dedicated to vehicles from over 80% currently to under 40% by widening sidewalks and adding a dedicated multi-use path. A green wall and stormwater features would be added along the northern edge. Intersections would be redesigned to slow traffic and prioritize pedestrians. This would transform the area from a barrier to a green, pedestrian-focused civic space connecting the city to Lake Ontario.
Unit 6 ch 14 s2 urban land use
Urban areas that grow quickly can experience an urban crisis where infrastructure cannot keep up with population growth, leading to issues like traffic jams and overcrowded schools. In contrast, urban areas that grow slowly plan infrastructure in advance to support new residents. Open spaces within cities provide environmental benefits like reducing flooding and moderating temperatures by absorbing rainfall and reducing the urban heat island effect. Land use planning aims to determine how land will be used to address issues of urban growth, and tools like geographic information systems allow planners to analyze layers of geographic data to make informed decisions about future development.

This document provides an overview of a design competition submission for the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard Reconfiguration Environmental Assessment in Toronto, Ontario. The submission, titled "Gardiner City", proposes transforming the Gardiner Expressway into an integral part of the city through a series of interventions that occur below, above, beside, and across the highway. Key elements include incubating new programs and public spaces underneath the expressway, hanging gardens from its edges, and stitching together neighborhoods with new pedestrian bridges and towers. The proposal divides the project area into four zones with different approaches to integrating the expressway into the surrounding urban fabric through landscape, buildings, and public spaces.
Urban Design and Street Typology: Do They Matter?
Despite a growing body of work defining the benefits and methods to encourage multi-modal travel, only a small body of research has worked to fuse urban design and complete street philosophies. Based on work recently published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research on street design and two-way street conversions, Dr. William Riggs will discuss how street typologies and complete streets dialogues are linked, and how urban design policies might be advanced to facilitate safer and more livable streets.

Re-urbanisation in London Docklands… powerpoint.ppt r.kennedy
The London Docklands underwent redevelopment in the late 20th century after decades of decline as the shipping industry faded. The London Docklands Development Corporation was established in 1981 to redevelop the area, attracting new businesses, building luxury housing, and creating parks and leisure attractions. Major developments included the Canary Wharf financial district and the Docklands Light Railway. By 1998, the Corporation had attracted billions in public and private investment, reclaimed over 1,000 acres of land, and transformed the Docklands into a thriving commercial and residential center.
London docklands
The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was established in 1981 to regenerate the declining Docklands area of London. By the late 20th century, the docks had become derelict as shipping moved elsewhere and containerization eliminated many jobs. The LDDC worked with private developers, local groups, and the national government to redevelop the area through new housing, offices, parks, transportation infrastructure, and businesses. This led to thousands of new jobs and homes but also higher costs that excluded some original residents.
London Docklands redevelopment
The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was established in 1981 to regenerate an 8.5 square mile area of docklands in East London that had declined with the collapse of the dock industry. The docklands area suffered from contaminated land, depressed housing and a lack of new industries or jobs. Over nearly two decades, the LDDC successfully redeveloped the area by cleaning up land, constructing new housing and transport infrastructure, and attracting private investment in businesses that created over 80,000 new jobs. However, problems remained with high housing costs and local residents lacking qualifications for the new jobs. When the LDDC's work concluded in 1998, local boroughs and agencies took over continuing the regeneration.
The Inner City
The document summarizes the characteristics and causes of decline in inner cities. It notes that inner cities experienced high population out migration, many abandoned buildings and shops, closing schools, high unemployment and crime. This decline was caused by deindustrialization which led to job losses, and the more affluent residents moving away in search of better homes and opportunities, leaving behind urban blight, derelict buildings and poor housing.
London Docklands redevelopment
The document discusses the regeneration of the London Docklands from the 1960s to the late 20th century. It describes how the area declined as shipping moved downstream and manufacturing declined.
