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.
