Yellow is sewer overflows, blue is the new bicycle network outside of the tow path zone, which always contains a bicycle connection.  The red line is the canal profile line (keyed to the profile drawing), the grey/white lines in the canal are the navigable parts of the channel, the dashed lines in the channel are the dredge pit, maintained by the crane in the center of the ovals.  The city lagoon is a new definition of the bulkhead, creating more space that is highly maintained and intended to absorb and filter the stormwater from the sewers during overflow events.  The city lagoon contains several boardwalks at various heights, some of which are covered during high tide or storm events.  
Trees reach back in to the city along the streets that provide either a boat or bridge crossing to serve as a signal.  Boat crossings are created in conjunction with a new system of wing dams which serve to recruit the entropy of the river to keep the navigable portion of the channel clear without additional dredging outside of the designated zones.  The shape, placement, and size of these were decided based on context and the experience they would provide and then modeled and tested for their effects on water flow using Tas Ambiens and IES-VE to understand the computational fluid dynamics.  
Soccer fields, paths, and tree clusters create focal points of social activity, and the trees work with the infiltration zones (simply hatched with dots) to provide habitat for birds and help with stormwater infiltration.

take a park. excavate a ragged trench in the middle of the pretty lawn. the rocks and pipes and mud that's left and the backhoe ripping in to them? that is landscape instrumentalism.
