Abstract
This report aims at understanding how urban design features can be used to help create
more livable and beautiful waterfront areas by focusing on the design of the Waterfront
Trail running through Beachway Park in Burlington, Ontario. In June 2014, the Region of
Halton released a Request for Proposals for consulting services to develop a new Master
Plan, environmental management and restoration plan, implementation plan and
communication strategy for the Burlington Beach Regional Waterfront Park. Amongst all
these future changes and revitalization of the Waterfront, it will be important for planners
to develop the most effective urban design strategies to improve the Waterfront Trail in
order to meet the overall vision for this public space. The report will utilize a variety of
research methods with the ultimate objective to provide recommendations for future trail
design that will contribute to creating a more vibrant public realm and improve the
Waterfront Trail to build a better, more attractive park.
