anchored by an Entry Pavilion that will double as a shade and
seating structure and a ticket and control point for the Fair.

of pedestrian movement will also contain several formal planting
areas and seating and a crosswalk.

provide the opportunity for more formal planting arrangements
while at the same time bringing focus to the Art Museums
entrance.
• Opportunity for Public Art has been included at the west end to I 0:: oassist in anchoring the view and providing an edge to the space. 0.. UJ 0::

The West Entrance area off of Ontario Street will improve the
pedestrian access while maintaining the vehicular movements
required for the Progress Building activities.
Re-alignment of the curb along the south face of the Administration
Building allows for a new east / west sidewalk from King Street
to the West Entry to the park.
Additional planting beds and trees will provide much
needed green space in this area and improve the pedestrian
experience.
