Internal Pathway Design
about 3 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.Better connections, safer circulation, and improved accessibility were all important factors that went into the design of the project. Tell us what you think about the Internal Pathway design:
- What do you like about the design?
- Is there anything missing?
- What changes would you suggest to improve the design?
Call-it-Mayfairabout 3 years agoWith parking at the entrance just imagine the road around the park becoming a Winter City skating loop.

I love Hawrelak, but the washrooms gross me out a little and are in need of an update, with touchless taps and fully operational hand dryers.
0 comment1Lenoreover 3 years agoPlan B - Lake Swimming
I prefer Plan B - external option. I would support any plans to make the lake accessible for swimmers throughout the summer.
1 comment4Sylviaover 3 years agoOption A
Option A is the lesser if two evils in my opinion. We already encroach on wildlife- I think option B will cause more of this. We don't need more pavement in our parks..we need more trees, more wildlife.

Annexing would allow for expansion of the park. Rather than benefit only a select few, the would create a larger green space to be enjoyed by all of Edmonton's citizens.

Add all sorts of plants, such as tall grasses, flowers, and shrubs around the lake and rest of the park. This park needs more landscaping and plants than regular grass and trees. Water fixtures (like fountains and waterfalls), stones, and rocks would also be appreciated! Make this park unique. During the summer, mosquito population is unbearably high, reducing enjoyment and causing health risks. Having the lake doesn't help, although other animals thrive due to it. Lakes don't have to mean mosquito breeding grounds. It is worth looking into mosquito traps (research how Disneyland has zero mosquitoes, it's quite interesting). Avoid massive paths next to the lake and keep the edge of the lake plants and rocks only. For paths, consider something aesthetically pleasing like this: https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/quarters/the-armature.aspx I also agree with other suggestions saying to make the parking lot bigger and convert the road to pedestrian and cyclist only access. Upgrade washrooms to be high end and fancy.
1 comment0Evelynnover 3 years agodivert group cyclists to outer edge
The outer ring would potentially reduce the number of "pack" cyclists competing for space. Would the gravel route be replaced or will it be complementary?
0 comment0barbkrahnover 3 years agoPrefer Option B. While more internal pathways are great, 2-3 metre width is enough; 4 metres would feel like a roadway through the park.
0 comment0Matover 3 years agoNo more pavement
I understand the need for more accessibility. But I do not like the idea of paving our green spaces. Maybe hard shale paths can be an alternative. Or find a way to make the road loop more multi-use. Please don't add pavement.
