Motion of non-support.
• This design does not demonstrate an understanding of urban design principles in what will be a premier location within an urban context.
• This is a park for not only the community league, but for all residents of Edmonton and beyond. It needs to demonstrate an exemplary level of urban park design.
• This design does not relate to the surrounding urban fabric of Downtown Edmonton.
• The pedestrian circulation design is fragmented and does not follow natural desire lines.
• The five elements of the program could be accommodated within this site with a simplified and cohesive design.
• A rigorous review of site furnishings, plantings, and other materials and how they relate to one another is required.
• The level of design of this project needs to set a precedent of excellence for other projects within the city.
• Programming should consider winter activities.
• Planting design should include coniferous material with respect to City standards and Winter City Principles.
