The Waterfront Toronto proposal is about building great mixed residential and commercial communities that connect the City to the waterfront. A place where Torontonians can live, work and play. Waterfront Toronto is delivering waterfront park and public open spaces, a revitalized Queen’s Quay promanade and transit plan and new mixed-use (East Bay Front and West Don Lands) communities.
The Disneyesque Ford proposal is not city-building. Ford’s plan, supported by the Federal Toronto Port Authority, has three objectives: to dismantle Waterfront Toronto; to derail the approved waterfront revitalization plan; to and pave the way for their vision of (suburban) development – Canada’s Wonderland and Vaughan Mills combined. Toronto will be poorer if the Fords and Toronto Port Authority achieve any of these objectives
@KEVIN BECHARD
Do you have any links to articles directly mentioning Toronto Port Authority involvement? I’ve only seen articles about Toronto Port Lands Company,a City of Toronto entity, and the only recent articles about TPA in Google News are about the sail-in cinema.
@Kevin Bechard — I’ve looked for something — anything — to support your assertion that the TPA is supporting the Ford plan for the Port Lands. I don’t see a thing. I can assume that you are either A) in error, or B) not researching your assertions very well. You’re undermining your own credibility.
