Design
Adaptive and Responsive.
Dundas Place will offer a multitude of experiences along its length exuding innovation, vibrancy, creativity and entrepreneurialism. Inspired by London’s relationship with the Thames River, Dundas Place will uniquely integrate our City’s history with a simple and playful streetscape.
Dundas Place aims to be as flexible as possible for all users, with both fixed (built-in) and flexible (movable) elements as shown in the renderings.
It is the first transformational project in Our Move Forward: London's Downtown Plan.

Function
Fixed to Flexible Framework.
A flexible street is a space shared by pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
London's flexible street is curbless and incorporates mid-block crossovers, allowing pedestrians to navigate from side to side with ease. It has been designed to accommodate vehicles and will remain open to two-way traffic whenever the space is not being used for an event or activity requiring one or several blocks to be closed to traffic.
In addition to the above-ground transformation, Dundas Street will undergo storm sewer, sanitary sewer and utility (internet, hydro, water) renewal work.
