The core principle of the team’s design is to make the river the heart of the downtown area. Main street will run over Queen’s Bridge, connecting the two halves of the town separated by the river. This street will be capped on each end by two major town parks, drawing pedestrian traffic from either side of town. The bridge itself will be expanded to include large promenades on each side of the traffic lanes, creating a place for events or sight-seeing. The jury has said that the “subtle level changes along these walkways embrace the waterfront, create a myriad of spatial opportunities and generate positive relationships with the Riverside Plaza and foreshore parks.”
