Waterfront redevelopment and the Island Airport
A recent Waterfront Toronto pamphlet gives the following information about the size and importance of Toronto's Waterfront renewal project.
- The largest urban redevelopment project in North America
- One of the largest waterfront revitalization initiatives in the world
- 800 hectares - roughly the size of Toronto's major downtown core from Bathurst Street to Sherbourne Street and Front Street to Bloor Street
- 25 years to full build out
- $1.5 billion government investment
- $34 billion investment
- $4.3 billion in public infrastructure
- 40,000 new residences
Wake up Toronto! If we want to develop a clean, green Waterfront, with low levels of pollution and livable neighbourhoods, then the Island Airport must close and Porter must move to Pearson.
