Master Plan & Parcelization
QUAYSIDE MASTER PLAN 2025 The Quayside Master Plan incorporates a series of innovations around transportation, social infrastructure, housing affordability, digital tools, sustainable infrastructure, building construction, and public space – with the goal of improving quality of life for Torontonians.

The Master Plan drawing on the right illustrates extensive pedestrian pathways, four people-first flexible streets that prioritize pedestrian movement over vehicles, robust cycling infrastructure, as well as four new open spaces that make up the public realm. A grand public space at Parliament Plaza ends Parliament Street at Lake Shore Boulevard East to create a multi-functional and large gathering place that supports a variety of public programming. A new “cove” at the head of Parliament Slip brings residents, workers, and visitors to the water through promenades, floating docks, naturalized edge, and barges. The Silo Park, which is a major green and recreational center for the community provides spaces for dynamic recreation. And the Queens Quay linear park which comprises of wide sidewalks for flexible programming, dynamic drop-off areas, outdoor comfort tools, dynamic paving, and buffers for stormwater management.

ent S t
The 2035 Master Plan on the right shows an evolution of Queens Quay East that recaptures car lanes and curbside parking to create a bigger, more varied public space. The wide adoption of self-driving vehicles and their programmable and predictable behavior will enable these vehicles to share the light rail transit lane, eliminating the need for the remaining vehicle lanes on Queens Quay East.

QUAYSIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Toronto is Canada’s largest city, a rapidly growing metropolitan region on the north shore of Lake Ontario. To counter urban sprawl and revitalize the waterfront, the three levels of government created the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC), charged with coordinating the redevelopment of a vast tract of waterfront property adjacent to downtown Toronto. The TWRC’s mission is to transform the Toronto waterfront into a series of sustainable, mixed use urban precincts integrated with parks and open spaces that greatly expand the City’s capacity for urban living, employment and recreation.
PRECINCT PLANS
Initially, precinct plans have been developed for the two areas closest to the downtown, West Don Lands and East Bayfront. These two precincts connect the downtown to the lake and the Don River corridor, as well as create gateways to future precincts and public open spaces in the Port Lands. The Don River corridor will be improved as a natural open space system with its terminus in a naturalized river mouth. The water’s edge will become a continuous magnificent publicly accessible promenade linking the downtown to the Outer Harbour and ultimately connecting to the Eastern

PARKING STRATEGY & INTERCHANGE all Sm
The interchange at Quayside is a nexus of bike-share stations, pedestrian paths, light rail and bus stops, a parking garage, and ride-share pick-up and drop-off points that enables easy transfers across every travel mode. It serves as a centralized location for drop-offs, pick-ups, and transfers in the bustling centre of the neighborhood.
St
Travelers who arrive to Quayside by car or public transit can rent bikes or scooters to complete the last leg of their trip, or choose to walk through the expanded and improved pedestrian network. Alternatively, residents can use bikes and scooters to arrive at the mobility hub, where they could board a light rail vehicle or bus — or access personal, shared, or hailed vehicles — to reach destinations across greater Toronto.

PARLIAMENT PLAZA ALTERNATE DESIGN EXPLORATIONS - 2025 The diagrams on this page represent the multiple design options that were examined as part of a holistic study of mobility and public realm at Parliament Plaza aiming to create a safe and vibrant public space. The alternate road network designs for Queens Quay includes many options: full vehicular access across both Queens Quay and Parliament, one-way streets, shared streets, and a lightrail animated, fully car-free plaza. Alternative public realm design explorations include options to retain and extend the head of the slip or partially fill the slip in varied patterns.
38
The proposed design which is the basis of the master plan retains Queens Quay as a two-way, east-west bound connection across a flat pedestrian Parliament Plaza, with Parliament Slip filled and a new head of the slip developed into a cove feature that brings visitors down to the water’s edge.

The “Greater Parliament Plaza” is defined by the space formed by four quadrants between Lake Shore and Lake Ontario, from Small Street to Silo Street. It looks at the hardscape, greenscape, bluescape, and social infrastructure spaces as one integrated environment that is stitched together with surrounding neighborhoods, providing direct access to the lake, and seamlessly blending diverse indoor and outdoor uses for all seasons.

PARLIAMENT PLAZA 2025 Parliament Plaza is a flexible wet/dry hardscape, well-suited for markets, public art installations, all-ages play, and events that integrate with surrounding buildings and take advantage of innovative weather mitigation systems. The plaza space is subdivided into multiple small and big multi-functional zones that provide flexible programming opportunities for interactive water features and art installations using innovative lighting and technology all year round. The stoa surrounding Parliament Plaza will be filled with active uses that can spill out onto the plaza, creating a lively market destination.

Parliament Plaza also allows for direct, safe, and accessible connections between Parliament Street and Queens Quay for pedestrians and cyclists. Queens Quay will extend east between Small and Silo Streets as a ‘Slow Zone’ in which the light rail, vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians all share space while traveling at low speeds (10 km/h) ensuring connectivity across the site while still allowing for a safe, vibrant plaza.

Detectable Edges are used to indicate a separation between pedestrian comfort zones and moving vehicles. While there is no universal language for detectable edges, they commonly take the form of roll curbs or gutters with contrasting colours and textures. We are exploring the use of shallow gutters and raised textured surfaces in consultation with the various accessibility groups within the City of Toronto.

QUAYSIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
ACCESSIBLE DESIGN & DYNAMIC CURB DETAILS Queens Quay
Accessible Design Principles: • Barrier-Free Access: Curb less Public Realm to facilitate wheeled movement. Primary building entrances and lobbies located at grade without ramps or stairs. • Detectable Edges and Moveable Elements: Clear separation between pedestrian areas and vehicular travel lanes or other hazards which can be detected by persons with visual and mobility requirements. Use of detectable edges that use contrasting texture and color of pavement to define separation. Use of moveable elements such as seats, planters, and/or play equipment to define separation. The moveable elements are spaced between 1m and 1.2m apart to allow mobility devices to move between them with ease. • Pedestrian Crosswalks: Located at all intersections, pedestrian crosswalks are defined by paving of contrasting color and/or texture, as well as raised tactile domes indicating beginning and end of crosswalk. • Accessible Drop-off and Pickup: Permanently designated curbside spaces allow drop-off and pick-up for persons with accessibility requirements, and are always located within 30m of primary building entrances. • Proximity to areas of rest: All areas are within 5 minute maximum journey to shade or indoor space, and within 2 min of a place to sit. • Transit Waiting Areas: TTC bus and light rail waiting areas are at grade or easily accessed by ramps in central and convenient locations. • Accessible Routes: Meet and exceed in certain areas, the City of Toronto minimum standard of 2.1m clear width for two people using mobility devices to travel side by side and/or pass each other with ease. • Clear Lines of Sight: Clear visual lines through public spaces for safety and navigability.
Queens Quay Dynamic Curb: Pick-up/Drop-off Scenario
QUAYSIDE PLANNING SUPPLEMENT
Queens Quay Dynamic Curb: Pop-up Program Scenario
• Lighting: All areas of public realm are illuminated at nighttime for safety and to avoid hazards,and select areas also make use of lighting during daytime hours as well. At Queens Quay Slow Zone, the TTC light rail line makes use of dynamic lighting at crosswalks and preceding each train passing through. Dynamic curbside spaces make use of paving lights to indicate when they are available for use. Bike lanes make use of green wave lighting in the surface of bike routes to indicate to pedestrians when bikes are passing through.

FREIGHT SERVICING & ACCESS The Urban Consolidation Centre (UCC) spans sites 1 and 2, and services most freight delivery for all five parcels. Loading docks at Parcel 3, 4, and 5 serve special deliveries that cannot be routed through the UCC.
Parlia m
ent S t
Commercial and residential storage is tucked into the structural transfer truss above the UCC, making efficient use of that space. A borrow library is located nearby, which allows rental of tools for woodworking, home repair, gardening, and more. The waste and recycling terminal is co-located with the UCC, with both facilities sharing the same vehicular entrance and exit.
Waste & Recycling

The UCC is split into west and east segments to allow for pedestrian access and sightlines between Queens Quay and Lake Shore Boulevard. Even though trucks will travel from the west to east segments across the pedway, it will be designated a pedestrian-priority zone.
