101 Urban Design Guidelines for Barrie’s Intensification Areas - DRAFT 5.5 Gateway Area Guidelines The City’s gateway areas should be a gradual transition to the City and Downtown areas, and should be reinforced by the quality of built form and public open spaces to signify the importance and public role of the area. DRAFT Figure 57: City Gateway Rendering The above rendering demonstrates the potential build-out of a gateway into the City of Barrie, including a landmark building and enhanced landscaping and streetscaping features.
The City’s major gateways are located along the Intensification Corridors, and in some instances, within the Intensification Nodes. Two types of gateways exist, including: City-Wide Gateways - Identify key arrival points to the City from Highway 400. City-wide gateways are located on Essa Road, Dunlop Street, Bayfield Street, and Duckworth Street. Downtown Gateways - Identify key arrival points to the Downtown, and the waterfront. Downtown gateways are located on Yonge Street, Essa Road, Dunlop Street, Bayfield Street, Duckworth Street, and along the waterfront (i.e. Lakeshore Drive, Simcoe Street, Dunlop Street). These gateway locations should not be limited to a specific intersection, and should instead be defined by a gradual change in character and building fabric. For example, the recommendations provided throughout this document for the Mixed-Use and Residential Avenues will result in attractive, pedestrian-supportive streets, suggesting arrival to the City from Highway 400. Likewise, approaching the core, a more close-knit building fabric will signify entry to the Downtown. Within gateway areas, this transition should be reinforced by both the quality of built form and public open space design to express the importance and public role of the area. a) Gateway areas should be highlighted through a combination of public/private initiatives. The scale of these initiatives may vary depending on redevelopment potential, and availability of public space. b) New development within gateway areas should create memorable landmarks to assist with City-wide wayfinding, including uniquely designed buildings, parks and urban plazas, and/or special boulevard paving. 102 c) Where possible, gateway areas should have a higher order of streetscaping, including double rows of trees on either side of the roadway, decorative planting within medians, and wide sidewalks and boulevards. It is recognized that due to right-of-way limitations, this will not be possible at all gateway locations. d) Gateway areas should function as meeting and gathering spaces, and should include a variety of public amenities within the boulevard, including seating, wayfinding and informational signage, pedestrian-scaled lighting, and waste receptacles. e) Wayfinding signage within City-wide gateway areas should provide directions to key City destinations (i.e. Downtown, waterfront). Within Downtown gateway areas, wayfinding signage should provide more specific guidance (i.e. key buildings, districts, parks, etc.). f) Wayfinding signage should be considered early in the development process to ensure it is well-integrated into buildings, public art pieces, etc. to minimize visual clutter. g) Landscaping within gateway areas may accommodate more decorative species provided an effective maintenance program is implemented. DRAFT h) Opportunities for significant public art pieces are encouraged within gateway areas. i) Gateways may be specially lit to highlight unique features at night.
