Getting to the park means going through big empty lands under construction for 10-25 years.
Please explain the alternative to us unenlightened masses?
This was entirely a regulatory floodplain on which virtually nothing and nothing residential could be built prior to the work on the river.
Technically, some aspects of that work still require final tweaks.
So most of the development you so desire literally could not have started construction prior to this year.
That is a fact. And the pedestrian bridge from East Bayfront is definitely not happening next year despite what Waterfront Toronto said.
The funding is in place for this project which has a wrap date, (fiscal close out) in early 2027.
That is also a fact. And the people running Waterfront Toronto are paid big bucks while things progress at a snail pace.
Yes, many make decent salaries............... no things are not moving at a snail's pace, in fact, quite the opposite.
You would do well to look at what has actually happened the last few years, its a lot.
Certainly, some projects have moved more slowly than ideal.............notably the WELRT, which is and always has been reliant on funding from senior gov'ts that has yet to materialize, and the Ferry Terminal, which is a entirely a City project, not a WT project.
Fact. And we're not talking only about condos. All of promontory park south which would connect to East Bayfront with the pedestrian bridge is not happening anytime soon. Parliament slip is also not going to be done anytime soon.
First, what was Promentory Park South will open this fall; you mean Promentory Park North, which will see schematic design completed in 2026.
While the full park won't be delivered for a bit, there will be sufficient infrastructure to connect the new Keating bridge to surrounding areas.
So on those, you're wrong.
Parliament slip (as in the proposed pool etc. will be awhile, yes), but the public realm along side it will be finished by the of 2026.
