I have a special affection for this walkway. The recent improvements - new artwork, refurbished armoury fountains - have fallen largely under the radar, despite it being one of Toronto's most elegant pedestrian only public spaces.
I just hope they give us some nice benches to eat our hotdogs on
The little road along Osgoode Hall's East edge is being closed to traffic (was rarely used to access Nathan Phillips Square, which can be better accessed from the North anyway) and will become a really nice pedestrian walkway with Osgoode Hall's garden on one edge and Nathan Phillips Square's Peace and Sculpture Garden on the other.
It is level.
It's all a bit obvious, no? I think I'd prefer it if there WERE a tilt.
The quote is a basic principle of the legal system. The work seems amateurish, like the artist didn't feel confident in his or her ability to depict that principle, so it had to be written out on the plinth. As for the walkway, as nice as it may be, it always seems deserted after business hours. It's a substantial space with a lot invested in architecture and landscaping, so it would be nice to see it more animated.
