Waterloo staff report on proposed trail enhancements of the "central promenade" in Waterloo Park, and an art selection for Waterloo Park, and next steps in Waterloo Park master plan:
http://calendar.waterloo.ca/Module/Calen...08ed47618f
"The trail enhancement that is under consideration will give an effect of a glowing trail in the night. The glow will form a design or pattern that may be customized through detailed design. Glowing trails examples from around the world have been featured in both traditional and social media recently and the incorporation of a glowing trail in Waterloo may be one of the first examples built in North America."
"-Request $159,000 for the Waterloo Park - Bauer Parking Lot Upgrades project in 2018. Those funds will be used to develop the detailed design of the Festival Heart and surrounding frontage, trail, and service elements.
-Recommend modifications to the Waterloo Park Master Plan - Preferred Concept and affected figures to formalize a commitment that removes a proposed surface parking lot from the Young Street entrance to Waterloo Park."
"The selected artistic work will have a significant presence that will encourage public gatherings. The tables feature two sculptural components, a nut and a squirrel, that create a connection between the tables and the site environment and introduce an element of humour to the work. The harvest tables will be fabricated in durable powdercoated steel, and wax-coated cold-cast bronze. All are durable materials that will require little maintenance throughout all seasons, as defined in the maintenance plan submitted by the artist as part of the RFP process. The tables are of dimensions specified in the
call to ensure compliance with the City of Waterloo’s Accessibility Standards. The design includes accessibility elements in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and includes ten distinct areas to provide access to users of all abilities."
