INTRODUCTION
The Downtown Winnipeg BIZ (Business Improvement Zone) launched a request for proposals
to conceptualize the aesthetic and technique of a Lighting Master Plan for Portage Avenue.
We agree with the scope of work overview presented in the request of proposal.
The objectives of the present project are:
·
·
The area of the study is Portage Avenue between Main Street and Spence Street.
We understand that downtown Winnipeg is undergoing a revitalization process and that the BIZ
has elaborated different strategies to sustain this rejuvenation as described in the Portage Avenue
Building on Momentum RFP document, October 2005.
One strategy is urban design, and a lighting plan for Portage Avenue is considered a key element.
We expect the lighting design will create a gathering place for the eclectic mix of use, activities
and places to form an identifiable environment to Portage Avenue in a comfortable, safe and secure
ambience.
We understand that the ultimate goal of the initiative is to promote downtown living and express
downtown as a "vibrant centre where people live work and play". The committee has identified
functions that should be part of the identity of Portage Avenue:
·
·
·
Express the site as the entertainment district of Winnipeg
Enhance the look of Portage Avenue retail
Attract more visitors
Some actions are to be taken in order to sustain these functions:
·
·
·
·
·
Promote and market downtown image
Improve the pedestrian character of downtown
Improve the pedestrian environment
Create a great public space and showpiece at Portage and Main
Enhance Portage connections and crossings, especially:
- to Edmonton Street, the “Party Street”, via Edmonton Court
- to convention centre via weather-protected walkways
- to integrate University of Winnipeg into the downtown fabric
·
·
·
·
·
To develop a comprehensive lighting plan with a unique identity for Portage Avenue.
To establish Portage Avenue as a vibrant, safe place for entertainment, retail and business,
throughout the seasons.
To build on and reinforce the successful aspects of significant historic buildings.
To support the implementation of downtown projects such as:
- MTS Centre
- the new Manitoba Hydro Building
- the University of Winnipeg Campus Redesign Plan
- the CanWest Global Development
To present the vision of the proposed master plan in a format to achieve acceptance by
the project team, stakeholders and funding agencies throughout implementation.
To provide order of magnitude cost estimates for the design, construction and operation
including anticipated revenue for the components of the master plan.
To provide an implementation/funding strategy for the master plan that would allow
portions of the master plan to be rolled out individually or together.
We live in globalise society where 24-7 schedule is spreading. Entertainment offer grows in quantity and
in variety along with the number of tourists and congressmen travelling the world looking to be delighted. Special attractions, patrimonial districts, downtown areas, commercial streets are promoting as well
their singularity.
In contemporary architecture the generalisation of glass curtain walls merges indoor and outdoor in large
open spaces where daylight and artificial lighting are combined to promote productivity and ambiances.
Technologically semiconductor devices are making lighting more sophisticated but also more durable and
energy efficient, and it's only a beginning.
These elements concur to upgrade lighting as a planning material. A street, a public space, a park, even a
parking lot have multiple dimensions. There are physical as well as social, symbolic and aesthetic. The
ultimate objective of a lighting initiative is to design with respect to each of these dimensions in order to
enhance what I call "urbanity", that kind of behavior in which no one is perceived with prejudice.
Urban lighting is a vector of democracy. It underlines all kinds of institutions, formal or informal as well
as extends the opportunity for the citizens to share the public space with each other.

Portage Avenue
CONCEPT AND APPROACH
Based on the assets that already exist in the urban space, we want to establish Portage Avenue
as the prime avenue of the city and promote the nocturnal silhouette of downtown Winnipeg.
We recommend three (3) levels of complexity to the lighting scheme.
The first level is about the encounter of the pedestrian and other vehicles on the ground of the
urbanscape. This concerns the street lighting strategy.
The second level of the lighting strategy relates to the general ambience generated by
specific interventions according to the occupation or the urban functions. It concerns the
vertical planes in our perception, from trees, store windows and façades to cornices and flags.
The third and most sophisticated level is the possibility to celebrate an event at regional scale
by programming festive lighting from the street level, lighting up to the nocturnal silhouette of
downtown.
From a general layer of comfortable warm white light, that will distinguish the street from any
other, the ornamentations of heritage buildings and other architectural beauty will arise.
From the pedestrian and vehicular perception, the ambience along the street will be articulated
through signage and public art as well as the way the walkways, store windows, façades and
parks are lit. Not only will it give a distinct identity to Portage Avenue but it will also increase
the sense of safety on the street. Graphic lines and shapes will express the lines of the highrise buildings in multiple ways while the crowns will be bathed in white warm light.
Even though the mandate issued to us is about Portage Avenue, we have analysed the broader
area of downtown since part of it is perceptible from Portage Avenue. We first identified
heritage buildings, which represent a golden age for Winnipeg. They are spread throughout the
downtown area from Portage Avenue to the Exchange District. Combine with the civic and
cultural buildings and with other buildings and urban traces of interest, we discovered a
tremendous potential for urban illuminations.
¨The Historic Sites and Monuments board recommended that Winnipeg's Exchange District be
designated an historic district of national significance because it illustrates the city's key role
as a centre of grain and wholesale trade, finance and manufacturing in two historically important periods in western development: between 1880 and 1900 when Winnipeg became the
gateway to Canada's West; and between 1900 and 1913, when the city's growth made it the
region's metropolis.¨ (1) It corresponds to the the golden age of Winnipeg’s architecture.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Starting with Portage Avenue and following the density of the heritage buildings, we propose the creation of
The Golden Trail, celebrating the golden age of architecture in Winnipeg. This trail will provide an opportunity to walk
through the downtown districts to shop, dine or wander under the enlightment of memories. The trail could eventually
reach Saint-Boniface via the Provencher Pedestrian Bridge (Esplanade Riel).

Roadway lighting is one of the most common urban
lighting practices. The Illuminating Engineering Society
issues Rules of Practice as a guide for professionals in
the urban field.

When addressing the urban space as a whole with
lighting as a design material, the way the street is lit is
a fundamental issue.
The more luminance (light reflected by the surface
up to direct glare by the source) from the lamp post,
the more energy spent on vertical surfaces in order
to make their details perceptible.
If you define street lighting in such a way that the
sources are cut-off (hidden sources) to achieve the
horizontal lighting on the street, and if you provide
the pedestrian with a low luminance lantern to give
a vertical velum of light on faces, then you need to
turn on significantly less light to show the beauty of
the surrounding architecture. This ambient lighting
can be turned on and off according to daily schedule,
events, etc…
Solution A
1 - Leave the posts as they are but replace sources
2 - 400 W - MH - 3, 000°K - Ceramic Metal-Halide technology
3 - 26 W - FL - 3, 000°K - fluo selfbalasted or any equivalent low consumption bulb
4 - Add decorative light columns

RECOMMENDATIONS
We suggest applying the following basic rules :
Illuminance level: 30 to 40 lux
Uniformity avg/min.: 3 : 1
More about the roadway lighting study of Portage Avenue
can be found in Existing Conditions PowerPoint document.
Solution B
1 - Modify posts and recycle lanterns on perpendicular streets for better harmony and consistency
2 - 400 W - MH - 3, 000°K - Ceramic Metal-Halide technology
3 - 26 W -FL- 3, 000°K - fluo selfbalasted
4 - Add decorative light columns

LIGHTING THE SECONDARY STREETS
RECOMMENDATIONS
The introduction of a light column with various designs
according to the applications would bring up the identity of
the downtown districts.
TYPICAL SPECIFICATIONS
A metal perforated pole, reinforced by 4 vertical rods,
mounted on a pedestal of 5 to 6 feet. Rings are mounted
at different heights for hanging purposes. Pedestal will
contain electrical gear.
Material: stainless steel or galavanized steel and Acrylic
Features of the light column as a decorative lantern:
- mixing light in colors, and in white
- programmable on astronomical clock
- 3 x 50 W - RGB - LED technology engines
- used as a stake for climbing plants
The light column upgrades
Nothwind in color and can perform the most classical look
Used as a stake for plants it may
be part of the strategy for
downtown to turn green.
RECOMMENDATIONS
TECHNOLOGY
Features of the light column as roadway lighting:
- 100W - Metal Halide - frosted / pulse start technology
with white louver.
- refractor type II or III incorporated
or
- eventually LED engine for roadway
May stand by itself as roadway
lighting in narrow streets and
lanes.
Could be used in alternance
with a patrimonial high post
luminaires where necessary on
secondary streets.
or
100W - Metal Halide , Clear / pulse start technology
with Type II ot Type III refractor and cut off louver.
- accessory louver
Features of the light column as park lighting:
Decorative LED post top for vertical presence.
- bear bulb with white louver

Portage Avenue
LIGHTING PARKS AND PRIVATE PLAZAS
These areas are either public spaces or the nocturnal signature of a building, It is the opportunity to enhance
green in the nocturnal ambiance of the city.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The light column could be implemented in the parks and
private plazas of Portage Avenue. A lighting feature would
enhance the trees and the column would give the space a
vertical layer of light for pedestrian’s face.
Guidelines:
-
warm white light at 3, 000° Kelvin for people
cold white light at 5, 200° Kelvin for vegetation and trees
avoid the use of sodium lighting as it alterates colors
water fountain is a great support to carry light and colour
Sources should be sustainable, low consumption and have a
long durable life, minimum 10 000 hours.
Lighting devices incorporated in the column enhance the green of trees.

WEATHER PROTECTED WALKWAYS
From an outdoor peception, we view the walkways as bridges
and potential support for signage. This is a different usage from
that of the inside. It goes from crossing over the streets to
retail stores... and backstores.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Lighting
- light the pillars
- enhance under the bridges with fluorescent lights
- subtly underline the visible structure
Urban signage
Simulation of the ideal transparency of the walkways
Used as a screen it could diffuse messages of public interest, cultural events and artistic competition
The reality is a less interesting visual experience
Materials: Semitransparent or dotted films mounted on frames or LED 4’’ x 4’’ RGB superflex screen or Custom made LED
screens

GRAHAM STREET
This is a very busy area where site furniture such as light standards are prominent to one’s perception.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We suggest the use of single post cut-off luminaires to reduce
the visual confusion.
Graham street is an appropriate site to test the use of LED
technology for roadway lighting.
The street ambience could benefit from architectural lighting
and the walkways should be dotted with fluorescent lines.
Small shops, and particularly those with awnings, could benefit
of affordable investments in their nocturnal look.
Example of fluorescent lighting under walkway,

PARKING LOTS
The map below shows most of the parking lots available in
the area of the study. They are of many types, including
parkades and surface lots.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend using a generalised practice that already
exists for parkades, which involves enhancing the perception
through the façade in the most harmonious way. This
approach is proposed for the Radisson Hotel.
For surface lots, we suggest using coloured metal-halide
sources to differentiate them and make them more of a
positive element of the urban scape.

HERITAGE BUILDINGS
ON PORTAGE AVENUE
Walking the city streets does not only consist in looking
to the pavement. Our perception is full of vertical object . In
daylight they vanish in our peripherical the general light of
daylight.
In the panorama of Portage Avenue and its crossing streets,
there is a potential saying the history of the urbanisation of
Winnipeg. It could easily be supported by historical visit
of downtown Winnipeg.
CURRY AND LINDSAY BUILDINGS
This page shows the acknowledged HERITAGE BUILDINGS on
Portage Avenue. The potential of architectural styles as well
as urban spaces remaining in the downtown area is of a
tremendous quality. Homogeneous streets dotted with small
public spaces and parks already command a certain ambience.
CARLTON BUILDING
The proximity of the University of Winnipeg campus and the
new construction of the Waterfront prive condos will continue to bring younger, vibrant people who will increase the
need for cultural services.
From the panorama of Portage Avenue, we also show other
BUILDINGS OF INTEREST, URBAN STRUCTURES AND HIGH-RISE, as seen in
the following pages these buildings have the power to
enhance the ambiance and the nocturnal silhouette of
Winnipeg.

ILLUMINATIONS
The existing illuminations on Portage Avenue are of a different quality and delicacy. Whatever the design strategy,
most of them need to upgrade their technology and
approach.
All installations would benefit from switching to electronic
ballasts and ceramic metal halide to avoid color shifting as
the bulbs age.
On the Carlton building the fixtures have too wide a distribution. The luminance at the start of the beam should be
shielded or the fixtures replaced.
The Mitchell Copp building is a heritage building and its
lighting suffers some lack of adjustments and position.
CARLTON BUILDING
MITCHELL COPP BUILDING
PARIS BUILDING
The Paris Building is the best achievement of all with a
sobriety that would astonish anybody if generalised in the
area. We would prefer the illumination to start from one
level down but we apreciate is the existing approach nevertheless.
The MTS Centre is missing lights in its rotunda to express
the transparency of the volume of this space. Lighting the
ceiling permanently or at least the pendant pieces (as we
saw it) would bring the cylinder to life.
On the far right, we can see the colour shifting due to
magnetic ballasts even if the bulbs used (we don’t know)
are ceramic metal-halide type.

The Electrical Railway Chambers building is a tribute to
the root of architectural lighting. We recommend
obtaining for LEDs or fluorescent replacement bulbs but
none will render the flimsiness expressed by its uncertain light.
The luminance of the bulbs forbids the perception of
the architectiral nuances. We would like to enhance the
light at first level with fixtures that will emphasise the
sconse’s lighting. Narrow fixtures at the base of each
arche to highlight the cornice and the voussoirs would
be installed at second level.

The One Canada Center is situated towards the edge of downtown.
It is the downtown landmark as one enters the downtown from the
south at Memorial Boulevard.
We suggest two graphical options for this building to avoid throwing
light in the sky by washing up the whole building the way it is now.
In the first option, shown at the bottom of the page, we suggested the
use of Red Green Blue LED tiles to mark the volume of the building.
This strategy offers many possibilities to deconstruct the architecture
and suggest other apparent forms and moving patterns.
The second option will highlight the building with punctual flames of
warm light and reinforce the glass rotunda and other glass walls of the
facades in cold white light.

The lighting study for this building should include this lane.
The Portage Avenue entrances to the mall should be dramatised. Ornaments on the
facade, which are currently covered with signage, should be brought back to view.
The large fixtures on the facade should be taken off and replaced by more appropriately scaled instruments.

The Manitoba Hydro Building is very impressive and from what we understand will reflect the

chimney as a lighting tower.
The technology used and the aiming of the instruments would contribute or at least would not
influence the green LEED categorisation of the building.
More details are needed to prescribe an appropriate intervention.

Lighting the urbanscape is a long process where achievements add up to a general signature
of the town, the district or the street. The design applied to the high-rise buildings will contribute to the distinctive look of Winnipeg’s downtown area.
In white classical look, in long lasting gentle colour mixing, following the weather or
Christmas music, giving the heart beat of an individual... the lighting of the highrise will
outline Portage and Main, the heart of downtown, that reaches out in the nocturnal sky.
These views will be used on TV, newspapers, local or international movies.

FLAGS
We have noticed that many buildings have flags masts that
are not used. In order to complement the building and the
street lighting on Portage Avenue, we recommend the use of
lit flags on buildings.

in place in the downtown.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend making use of the masts for flags or large
banners to celebrate the windy city in a consistent manner.
