If we want to make comparisons to Ottawa, the west transitway along Scott St. is likely more similar in terms of what the end result might look like. It's not beautiful, but it has a certain appeal in that a lot of the wall is actually bedrock cut with some vegetation. It gives off a faint driving through the Canadian Shield vibe.
The problem we have imagining attractive infrastructure of this sort is that being in Ontario seldom exposes one to anything that does not look as though it was designed by the owner of a concrete plant. If we thought of a trench as a landscape design opportunity, held a competition, and built the design instead of value engineering it down to nothing, we might get something not too soul-destroying.
