It's just a drawing, but it's a nice drawing!
In today's Toronto Star, Waterfront Toronto and George Brown College propose a campus between Sherbourne and Parliament, south of Queens Quay. Only a dream but it's a nice one for a people centered harbour.
In today Toronto Star:
George Brown eyes lakefront

A detail from an artist's rendering of proposed developments for Waterfront East along Queens Quay Blvd.
It would be a school for wellness by the water, George Brown College's dream of a lakefront campus where all its scattered student nurses and gerontologists and dental hygienists and hearing specialists and personal support workers could learn together in one airy new complex.

You...do know you're not going to be able to shut the airport down...right?

Why, because we are impotent citizens in the face of larger interests? Or because we should subsidize a money losing proposition or a private monopoly (a la the exclusion of Jazz)? Or the ever-growing number of people that live nearby enjoy wafting in the fumes and listening to planes doing 5:30 am preflight engine revs?
I'd like to be more positive about it and think the airport closing would be a very good for Toronto. It will help the revitalization that has been occurring in the city core.
City centered airports are a thing of the past like multi-storied highways, lead in paint & CFCs.
The land would have much better use as parkland, entertainment, education or mixed-residential.
Take Chicago for instance, they had the sense to bulldoze their downtown airport. It helped them, I believe it will help us.
