Located near railways, major expressways and GO Transit lines, Tree City can function as both a point of destination and dispersal. Visitors will be able to visit the site by numerous public and individual means from within the city. At the same time, it can serve as a transportation hub for connections to other outlying areas. As a hub, Tree City would accommodate the extension of Sheppard Avenue under the runway, the future extension of the east-west subway, as well as the development of the existing railway tracks for intermodal transportation.

Ultimately, we envision this vegetal epicenter to connect with the city’s green spaces and form a Tree infrastructure for the Greater Toronto Area. By continuing its landscape clusters and extensive pedestrian pathways into adjacent areas, Tree City can link up with the Black Creek and West Don ravines, integrating Downsview into the system of wooded river valleys, parks and public paths so unique to Toronto’s urban domain. Earth bridges over Keele Street to the west and Sheppard Avenue to the north will knit Downsview’s ecology with the city. In this Tree City grows the park into Toronto to foment urbanization.
