West Toronto Railpath Park Official Opening Ceremonies
Councillor Adam Giambrone invites you to the official opening of
the West Toronto Railpath Park on Friday, October 30, 2009. Councillor
Giambrone, the City of Toronto, and Friends of the West Toronto
Railpath are pleased to open the first 2.1 km of this exciting
recreational trail.
* Date: Friday, October 30, 2009
* Location: West Toronto Railpath entrance at Wallace Avenue
(south of Dupont, west of Perth, north of Bloor). See attached map.
* Time:
o 2:00 p.m. – Opening Remarks
o 2:15 p.m. – Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
o 2:20 p.m. – cyclists gathered ride the trail and enjoy
the sculptures

The West Toronto Railpath Park is a new 2.1 kilometre multi-use
trail that is perfect for cyclists, joggers, and people out for a
stroll. Travelling alongside the railway corridor, it features
extensive naturalized landscaping to create an appealing public space.
In addition to 2.1 km of park trail, designed by innovative
Toronto-based firm Scott Torrance Landscape Architect Inc., the
project includes four site-specific sculptures by renowned Toronto
artist, John Dickson. The artwork series, Frontier, is inspired by the
changing landscape of the Junction Railpath area. John Dickson was
selected to work collaboratively with Scott Torrance Landscape
Architects Inc. through an open competition coordinated by Toronto
Cultural Services` Public Art Office.
The Friends of the West Toronto Railpath is a community-based
working group with the goal of assisting the City of Toronto finance,
design and build a 6.5 kilometre path from Toronto`s Junction
Neighbourhood into the heart of downtown Toronto and the shoreline of
Lake Ontario.
Once future phases of the Railpath are built, it will be both a
linear park and a sustainable transportation corridor, giving more
than 250,000 Toronto residents a car-free path directly into the
Toronto`s downtown core.
