Waterfront Toronto recently released five design proposals for the Ferry Terminal and surrounding area. As they are currently on display in the rotunda at City Hall, I took one of my kids to see them over the March Break.
The designs are creative and -- in some cases -- provocative.
As my partner commented when we got home that evening, "whichever design they choose, it will be an improvement over what's there now!" Agreed. But my kid and I still picked the same one we like the best!
Although we were intrigued by the slotted roof and market place idea in the Civic Canopy proposal, we were both drawn most to Harbour Landing, an organic, Toronto-friendly design by the KPMB-West 8-Geenberg Team...

We loved the idea of a hilly park that extended over top of the canopy of the ferry terminal. Continuing a summer walk above while others bought ferry tickets below just seems so multi-purpose, continuous... and we really liked the pools, too.
The mock-up and panels for this proposal gave us a good feel for how it might turn out. The design seems authentic and unpretentious. We could see ourselves there, buying tickets to the Island.
All five designs are on display here, as is a survey. Check out the proposals, and provide your feedback: You can't complain about the result if you don't give your input when invited!
