West Toronto Railpath
View south along the multi-use trail across Dupont bridge
A new guardrail provides a safe crossing on the Dupont and Bloor overpasses. Small widenings allow users to pull off the main trail and enjoy the view from these historic railway bridges. The late summer bronze colour of native low prairie grass provides a visual link to the red clay brick of the unique homes and buildings (such as the Viceroy) along the trail between Dupont and Bloor, while providing dynamic texture throughout the seasons. Steel signs indicate the street names and user position along the multi-use trail.
Planting palette: Little Bluestem grass, Virginia Creeper vine
Signage: oxidized steel
Guardrail: galvanized steel
Lighting: City of Toronto standard ‘acorn’ fixture
Design: Scott Torrance Landscape Architect Inc. with Brown and Storey Architects
