By leading revitalization with the development of parks and public spaces Waterfront Toronto is fulfilling its commitment to restoring public access to the water’s edge. We have created new linear waterfront parks in Etobicoke at

Mimico and in Scarborough at Port Union to provide local residents with lakefront access where none previously existed. Just west of Toronto’s downtown, Waterfront Toronto has enhanced park space and trails around Marilyn Bell Park, made improvements and additions to the popular Martin Goodman Trail and built the Western Beaches Watercourse, a new on-water training course.

In addition to the parks and public spaces we have completed to date, Waterfront Toronto is also working with the Toronto Transit

Commission and funding the construction of a new subway platform at Union Station that will help connect transit users to the waterfront.

Together with the City of Toronto, Waterfront Toronto has started a multi-year environmental assessment and integrated urban design study to determine the future of the Gardiner Expressway east of Jarvis Street. The study is examining the feasibility, impacts and costs of potential options for the elevated roadway including its removal, replacement, enhancement, or maintaining the status quo.
