Isn’t This Lovely?
The walkway connecting Eagle Crescent with King Edward Avenue that the city just got finished renovating in the Fall. Not much artistic merit.

Actually this is horrible. It is just another case of where the City of London throws down paved pathways. They’ve done it all over the city, destroying natural environments in their wake.
I hope they stop the double talk and decide what they want. Green spaces, or black top?!?
You’re right, such non-artistic defacement of public property is horrible.
As for your point about pathways, it’d be nice if the City would require that the design of neighbourhoods be more walkable. Perhaps that will happen now that we’ll got an urban planner and after the Strengthening Neighbourhoods Task Force that I’m a member of tables it’s final report. In the meantime, we’re stuck with many neighbourhoods that were designed with drivers in mind, and where walkways are essential from a pedestrian’s perspective.
BTW, do a search for my previous posts about this walkway and examine the pictures of what it looked like before I influenced the City to fix it. The graded, paved surface is a terrific improvement over what existed previously, especially for the disabled and the elderly and mothers pushing/pulling buggies, sleighs, etc.
