Music starts. 

[DESCRIPTION: A video rendering begins by zooming in between two buildings. The scene features abundant trees and greenery, with people moving through the space. A speaker appears on screen. Rasmus Astrup, Design Principal & Partner at SLA, sits indoors facing the camera. Soft natural light and architectural elements are visible behind him. 

[AUDIO:] 

What we heard from the community was a request for green, safe urban spaces, designed from the beginning to be the place where you feel welcomed every day. 

[DESCRIPTION: The video cuts to a moving rendering of people among buildings in a green space. People are using swing sets, walking dogs, biking, and pushing strollers. The shot then cuts back to Rasmus speaking to the camera.] 

[AUDIO:] 

That connects the community as a daily commute, but also a daily place to enjoy a corridor that celebrates all kinds of life, Indigenous values and placemaking. 

[DESCRIPTION: A sketched image appears on screen, showing a vibrant urban street scene with people walking, cycling, and enjoying outdoor cafés. The street is lined with  buildings. Lush trees and plants add greenery to the area. The video switches back to Rasmus speaking.] 

[DESCRIPTION: The flyover animation returns, moving through the street between buildings filled with people and trees.] 

[AUDIO:] 

Walking east to west will be like walking in a forest in between buildings, it will be a journey of variated experiences. 

[DESCRIPTION: The flyover continues along the route.]

It will be wider and smaller. It will adapt to the buildings that are adjacent to it. 

It will literally be for the community, the entire island, and for Toronto. 

[DESCRIPTION: The flyover pans upward, revealing a bright sun and a large park. As it continues higher, a large body of water comes into view in front of the Toronto skyline.]
