It is anticipated that the Stanley Park tunnel will emerge immediately to the east of the Lost Logoon on the Georgia St. alignment. Of course this is not exactly a minor intervention, but steps are planned to mitigate the Portal impact and generally enhance the area.

A landscaped garden will be placed at the centre of a roundabout at the tunnel entrance, to mask the actual portal, and heavy planting along the ramps should make this area pleasant enough for what it is. A new transit loop will provide an improved environment for those wisely arriving via BCTransit, and new public amenities will be introduced to orient and serve those using this facility.

With the major vehicular route safely tucked away, uninterrupted pedestrian access can be achieved across the former road alignment and into Stanley Park proper. As the major road along the causeway will no longer be required, it is possible to resolve the existing causeway into a series of landscaped islands linked by pedestrian bridges, providing access, fine parkland, refuge for wildlife and permitting navigation into Lost Lagoon by small craft, with a landing area incorporated into the Portal at the new transit loop.

Although not central to the overall project, having come this far it is possible to suggest that a navigable channel be created between Lost Lagoon and English Bay along the eastern border of the Park. This passage would serve as a clear public boundary for the Park, offering city-side amenities for the increasing population, both resident and transient, thus reducing, to some extent, pressure on the Park for increased facilities, while forming a clear demarcation line, and permitting water-borne access from Burrard Inlet to False Creek/Granville Island. Given the opportunities offered by local topography, it should be possible to create a pleasant and animated city-side edge along the east bank without any significant negative impact, while enhancing the interface between the Park and the city.
