Definitely. There have been a few more "food choices" popping up, but one has to pay attention to find a place. The food tents at Ontario Square are there, but it makes me a little nervous for hygienic reasons.
On another matter, all the coloured LED lighting under the wave decks are all off, not sure when or why that happened. Too bad, it can get pretty busy down there on warm weekend evenings, and those lights make such an impact walking along Queen's Quay.
The tree plantings mostly seem to be a success, vs. Bloor St. and they are filling out a bit too. The trees at HTO & a few other areas are nearing maturity, and look terrific.
It's still pretty much mass confusion down there, cars driving where streetcars run, people walking in the bike lanes, the traffic signals confuse people so they walk on a "no walk" signal - I think some thought has to go back into the design along Queen's Quay W. To be honest, I've found myself wandering into the bike lanes by accident while engaged in conversation with friends!
I walked down there today. Didn't see a single incident apart from a group of pedestrians crossing against the light who got honked at by a car growing through the green.

It’s an oasis on Toronto’s waterfront and it’s under threat. The new CEO is making deep cuts to secure its future
Cathy Loblaw broke up with The Power Plant, the Toronto International Festival of Authors, and the Fleck Dance Theatre in a bid to secure the future.

“If we don’t figure out how to continue to be relevant and stabilized and strengthened, this could become three more condo buildings, and we can’t let that happen,” said Loblaw, referring to the 10-acre campus set aside, decades ago, in a prescient attempt to preserve a portion of Toronto’s waterfront for the public as private development began taking off in the district.

Looks like Amsterdam Brewery is expanding right up to Queen’s Quay! Business must be booming to take over that entire building.
The much-maligned Huang&Danczkay towers seem to be getting black painted window trim that I dare say makes them look…somewhat respectable??
Anyone know what’s going on with this footbridge? It’s really annoying that it’s out of commission.

The bridge belongs to Harbourfront and they have no money to fix it. The new CEO has said it will be fixed, she hopes, but no date. (SEE: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/it...cle_b2a7ae9a-d452-4a17-bbf3-748e0618f668.html )

I believe this is a separate new restaurant called Queen's Harbour, as described in this article from last spring. The article suggests it will open this spring, but they seem to be slightly delayed and this Google maps page for the new restaurant now says it will open in July..
