Given the complete mess the City has made of the Bloor Street project, it will be important to ensure that project management for Queen’s Quay is contracted out. Otherwise the Queen’s Quay rebuild will take four or five years.
What mess? It looks pretty good with that black slate.
Good news about QQ. Of course, the fact that it’s finally getting the go-ahead over 4 years after the pilot project doesn’t give me the greatest faith in the implementation of the University Ave. bike lane experiment.
