It looks like we can get ready for our first taste of a revitalized central Waterfront. As reported before, Queen’s Quay West from Spadina to York will be partially closed to car traffic from August 11 – 20 to give us a taste of West 8<\/a>‘s plan for the Waterfront:<\/p>\n

[Quay to the City] will feature activities intended to immerse people in the winning design that affords everyone a taste of Ontario’s popular cottage life without leaving the GTA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The corporation has gone beyond merely closing off the street, though. Realizing that special programming and events also bring people down to the lake, they will be offering people the chance to canoe around the inner harbour at the bottom of John Quay, take Waterfront walking tours, and take free central Waterfront boat tours. There will also be an “arc de triomphe” bicycle sculpture, elaborate sandcastles, a combined two kilometres of installed lawn and geranium gardens, and a number of other attractions and activities.<\/p>\n

Numerous Harbourfront festivals will also overlap with the closure, which might actually make it feel more like the centre<\/em> of the harbourfront rather than an isolated attraction in an otherwise unfriendly area.<\/p>\n
