The Bentway / Public Work
The project is unprecedented in many ways. It was funded through a unique public-private partnership between the City of Toronto and philanthropists Judy and Wilmot Matthews, who contributed $25-million to the project. Judy and Wil were inspired by the vision of urbanist Ken Greenberg and landscape architecture firm PUBLIC WORK to re-imagine the expressway ?arguably the city?s most divisive symbol of 20th century transportation planning ? as a new model of shared public space activated by year-round programming.
