Toronto Humber Bay Park Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | DTAH

Such slow progress. Something that could have been completed in two years by another first-world city will take Toronto 5+ years to deliver. One bulldozer working the whole site, it's rather embarrassing to watch. So many trees cut down, habitat destroyed, and the building work has not even started ( was supposed to start in December 2023). No sign of the promised wetland restoration and planting that was supposed to happen in September 2023 - December 2023.

It's not something that helps a big bank, Rogers, or a well-organized BIA make money, so it's done slowly and reluctantly.

This probably fits here...

Some updates on construction of the park from today

A lot of heavy construction equipment is gone, but some remains:

Armour stone work looks to be complete around the whole shoreline:

Some stonework looks yet to be finished:

A lot of the previously graded areas have been fully/partially replanted:

Pedestrian bridges that are in place have the untreated rusted metal aesthetic:

The snaking stream is taking shape, the concrete footings are for the pedestrian walkway that will snake across the snaking stream:

Not sure if the use of concrete for this retaining wall was warranted. They had a lot of armour stone for this project.
