The revitalization of East Bayfront – a formerly industrial part of our waterfront between Lower Jarvis Street and Parliament Street – is well underway. Join Waterfront Toronto on December 3 for an update on progress in the area.

During the meeting, you’ll have an opportunity to learn more about the new, 13-acre Bayside Toronto mixed-use development from Hines and Tridel. You’ll also hear from landscape architects, West 8 + DTAH, who will share plans for interim improvements to Queens Quay Boulevard East, which include a new stretch of Martin Goodman Trail, trees and other plantings. In addition, Waterfront Toronto will provide a general update on other projects underway in East Bayfront and across the waterfront. A question and answer session will follow the presentations and we look forward to your comments.

TTC: 6 Bay bus to Dockside Drive at Queens Quay East or the 75 Sherbourne bus to Lower Sherourne St. and Queens Quay.
Parking: Paid parking is available at George Brown Waterfront Campus, 51 Dockside Drive
Accessibility: Fully accessible

Can't wait until this area has an LRT line serving it.

Taken January 16, 2016:



At the north end facing Queen's Quay, construction is just below grade level; at grade in the middle portion, and up to the second floor at the very south end.

It's a shame WT and Hines/Tridel can't cordon off the Bayside construction sites with appropriate hoarding/fencing and open up the already completed waterside pedestrian path all the way to Parliament slip for public use.

The new section does not actually go as far as Parliament Slip and I saw a WT announcement that it is closed off so that the trees can get 'settled in'. I think they plan to open it in summer 2016 but it will be dead-end until the new Aitken Place Park opens in 2017 (?)

UPDATE. WT has a huge sign posted saying it will open in 2017. Also, the fact that the new section does not go as far as Parliament Slip is clearly seen in photo that follows
