In 2017 HUB Surface Systems met with city staff to discuss the options available to replace the existing pedestrian promenade. Burlington’s Spencer-Smith Park on Lake Ontario was designed and built about twenty years ago. At that time the city used StreetPrint – Genuine Stamped Asphalt as the decorative asphalt paving treatment of the promenade. StreetPrint is still a popular process which consists of stamping a template into a freshly placed or re-heated asphalt surface followed by the application of StreetBond150 Pavement Coatings, advanced pavement coating system for asphalt and concrete hardscape surfaces.
After over twenty years of exposure to Lake Ontario’s harsh winter weather, the lakeshore promenade’s surface had reached the end of its lifecycle and needed to be replaced. In 2017 new asphalt pavement was placed to upgrade the surface to an accessible, smooth, durable surface suitable for walking, cycling and mobility devices, such as wheelchairs.
5,600 m2 of StreetBon150 Pavement Coatings were applied to the new asphalt pavement but this time without the StreetPrint- Genuine Stamped Asphalt imprinting process. StreetBond150 provides a durable, safe, skid/slip-free surface. Both protecting the asphalt from damage caused by the elements and providing a durable, architecturally design flexible surface. Fast to install, StreetBond150 is economical to install and requires minimal maintenance over time. Given that the promenade is also home to Canada’s largest Rib Fest, it’s safe to say it can hold up to a little bit of cleaning when required
Developed by the landscape architecture firm Civiliti, the landscaping design of promenade Ville-de-Québec in Guido-Nincheri Park creates an emblematic and pleasant gateway to Space for Life. As a continuation of the two key arteries of Rachel and Sherbrooke, a motif borrowing the image of bark, of a knot and of movement, sometimes takes the form of concrete walls, street furniture, gutters or groves of vegetation, all based on the theme of life. Creating a link with the institutional crossroads made up of Space for Life, the Dufresne-Nincheri Museum and the Olympic Park.
StreetBond150 Pavement coatings were applied over a concrete substrate to create bold flowing lines central to the promenade’s landscape architecture.
