September 01, 2022 Planners on Bikes On August 6, planners embarked on a 10-kilometre bike ride along Toronto's Waterfront from Sugar Beach to the Humber Bay Arch Bridge. The group included planners from the public and private sector, housing analysts, political candidates, and students, giving everyone an opportunity to meet and chat with someone new. TRILLIUM PARK The first stop was Trillium Park. The newly released Ontario Place plans were top of mind while we admired the Toronto skyline from the park’s serene atmosphere. PUBLIC ART The next stop of the tour, at 1926 Lake Shore Blvd West, was particularly apt given Toronto is currently in the midst of a year of public art. Motion in Air by Canadian Artist Jenifer Macklem, encompasses the north façade of the building's podium and is seen by thousands of commuters each day from the Gardiner Expressway. Constructed using 500 dye-sublimated custom printed panels, the artwork is meant to reflect the natural beauty surrounding the site.
