Waterfront East LRT extension visual communications by Spatial Media

Toronto's Eastern Waterfront is one of the fastest-growing areas in the city and across North America, and we are excited to bring to life the planned Waterfront East LRT Section.

Toronto's Eastern Waterfront is one of the fastest-growing areas in the city and across North America, and we are excited to bring to life the planned Waterfront East LRT Section.

With an estimated 50,00 jobs and 100,000 new residents, extending public transport connections along the Eastern Waterfront will support the City’s rapidly growing waterfront neighbourhoods, enabling the connection of new suburbs, parks and commercial zones.


Check out the project overview we have created for TTC, Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto in collaboration with the teams at WSP, SAI, West8, Public Work, dtah and Stantec.

Waterfront East LRT Extension Overview.

The Waterfront East LRT extension will see major design upgrades to Toronto’s public transport infrastructure including new and rebuilt tunnel portals on Queens Quay at the foot of Bay Street, accessibility upgrades to the existing west entrance at Queens Quay Ferry Docks Station, and the expansion and design transformation of the underground Union streetcar station including new expanded platforms, station entrance connections and upgrades to services.With such a complex and important project engaging and informing current and future residents and businesses is vital to the project’s success.

Here is how we have taken our technologies to create digital assets that simply and effectively communicate the projects key information and design intent.

What will construction of one of Canada’s most exciting projects mean for residents and business during construction?

In our latest video for TTC, Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto and created with WSP, SAI, West8, Public Work, dtah and Stantec, we have detailed the planned works and the impacts to public transport as the The Waterfront East LRT extension is delivered.

Designed to inform and reassure stakeholders about the network and road changes that will keep the city moving as construction takes place, the video is a great example of how a complex project can be communicated effectively to engage with the communities it will benefit.

Their can-do attitude was unreal

From the start, it was clear that Spatial Media shared our vision to create a portal that was eye-catching, simple but packed with info! There was nothing that was ever a problem, and their can-do attitude was unreal. Every request we made was met with a “yep, we can do that - we can even do it this other way also (which was generally better that what we had imagined)”. I have been telling everyone who will listen that these guys are just are the real deal - and they can turn stuff around in no time. Can highly recommend working with the Spatial Media team!

Airside Driving Simulator an important part of the training program

It can be storming outside. It could be night time. Any time of the day or night we can create these simulations. It’s very flexible.

They were committed to accuracy and no ask was too hard

Spatial Media understood our brief to a tee and delivered a high quality animation and renders to bring our project to life for the community. Despite a short timeframe, we were given multiple opportunities to provide feedback and suggest changes, all of which were easily understood and promptly actioned. Isaac and the team were flexible, responsive and hit every deadline. They were committed to accuracy and no ask was too hard. The end product will be a centrepiece for communicating our project to the public.
