MOVEMENT STRATEGY

When developing a movement system for Black Bay Park,
attention was given to ensure its synergy with the activation
strategy. The diagrams depict the existing circulation
patterns in comparison to the desired patterns based on
the proposed activation and placemaking locations. By
integrating the existing with the desired, it became apparent
that increased access throughout the park was desired,
while a series of pathways create a variety of loops would
provide the greatest benefit, while providing users of all
mobility levels with equal opportunities to explore most areas
of the park. When developing the movement strategy, site
topography played an important role in the location and
flow of the overall trail system. The proposed circulation
focuses on working with the varying topography, letting the
land dictate the patterns, while minimizing disturbance to
existing natural areas.

During the final visioning process the proposed trail
alignments were refined with the use of a GIS tracking
system and in-situ field assessments. This aided in developing
a thorough understanding of were trails best fit into the
existing natural framework, while ensuring visitors access to
EXISTING CIRCULATION PROPOSED CIRCULATION the proposed programmed areas.
