The following issues
related to pedestrian routes should be considered in the redesign of
the Demonstration Site. The numbered items refer to drawing DS4-2.
- 1. Willcocks
Street is a major east-west pedestrian corridor from Spadina Avenue
across St. George Street and through to the Central Campus.
- 2. The intersection
of Willcocks Street and St. George Street experiences major pedestrian
flow between the central and west campus areas. The reconfiguration
of Willcocks Street to create the open space will likely result in
the removal of the traffic signal at this intersection. A series of
pedestrian-activated crosswalks may be suitable at this location.
- 3. Traffic calming
and limited automobile use on Willcocks Street between Huron and St.
George Streets would allow the development of a major open space and
pedestrian gathering place.
- 4. Sidney Smith
Hall is the hub of the Faculty of Arts and Science. The integration
of the west terrace and the south facade with the open space proposed
in this Demonstration Site will create an enhanced gathering space
and improve pedestrian amenity around the building.
