We also need to consider that something grand would become a tourist attraction. As mentioned, once the West 8 plan for the waterfront is built, people (Torontonians) will automatically flock to it. But, will outsiders come to visit it like people visit Barcelona's Ramblas? Probably not, because apart from the nice stroll, there's nothing really to keep them down there. I don't know how I feel about aquariums, but it's as good an idea as any and really could be the jewel in the waterfront. Is Harbourfront Centre the right place for it? Could we build something that juts out into the lake?
Let's face it, if we want to bring in some tourists we need to keep our attractions near the downtown. The Science Centre and the Zoo both suffer from being too far away from downtown, and not easily accessible. Putting a top notch attraction in a centralized location like the waterfront at least makes it accessible to all.
