I arrived a little late and was surprised to see the room packed to the rafters, complete with ornery people squeezing in at the doorways. A large part of the audience was composed of members of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outerharbour.net\/\">Outer Harbour Sailing Federation<\/a>, who made it clear in the Question Period that they were concerned about losing private property to public development.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Just prior to the Question Period landscape architect James Corner presented an hour-long proposal for Lake Ontario Park with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towaterfront.ca\/dbdocs\/\/45b1277ce7719.pdf\">91 page slideshow<\/a> (22 megs PDF), now available online from the TWRC&#8217;s website (its filled with artist rendering goodness). It&#8217;s an ambitious and impressive plan, and you can read Christopher Hume&#8217;s take on it on <em>The Star&#8217;s <\/em>website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/News\/article\/172324\">here<\/a>. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towaterfront.ca\/dbdocs\/\/45af7d9b6d5fb.pdf\">workbook<\/a> (443k PDF) is also available from the TWRC&#8217;s website, which asks for feedback on the proposal and suggestions for improvements. If you have any interest in the project it&#8217;s well worth your while to have a look at the presentation and get your feedback to the TWRC before January 31. The next TWRC meeting is about the Central Waterfront and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towaterfront.ca\/dbdocs\/\/45a79800612ba.pdf\">is scheduled<\/a> (PDF again) for next Tuesday, January 23, at the Radisson on Queen&#8217;s Quay.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>Image from the Toronto Star.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I went to the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation&#8217;s Lake Ontario Park Public Forum expecting the half-full room of journalists and senior citizens that usually makes up the audience at these events.
