This new land would make it possible to extend Queen&#8217;s Quay and connect it to Dufferin Street, which would improve access to Ontario Place by linking all modes of transportation, most importantly the streetcar line. Maggs has estimated that by selling and leasing the new land that is created, enough revenue could be generated to finance the landfill and subsidize public park space. The addition of low-rise housing within a mixed-use development would help bridge the gap between Ontario Place and the waterfront neighbourhoods to the east.<\/p>\n<p>The area south of Lakeshore Boulevard would be connected to Exhibition Place through a land bridge. Open park space flanked by commercial and retail uses would connect to existing programs at Exhibition Place. The existing Ontario Place pods would be surrounded by natural park landscape that connects to the existing parks along the waterfront. Fifty percent of the area would be devoted to public park space with year round programming and activities.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/2013\/03\/19\/making-the-case-for-ontario-place-part-1\/\">here<\/a> to view The Case for Ontario Place: <strong>Part 1<\/strong> by Christina Pascoa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second video in our three-part series outlining new visions for Ontario Place was created by Marisa Maggs of the John H.
