December 5, 2018, Toronto, ON – Waterfront Toronto CEO Michael Nobrega issued the following statement today in response to the Auditor General’s report, released this morning:

“We acknowledge the Auditor General’s report and thank her for her work. We will use the report’s recommendations as we deliver excellence and move forward with our many waterfront projects. We’ve begun the implementation of recommendations and always strive to protect the public in all of our revitalization plans.

Waterfront Toronto together with the TTC and the City of Toronto began an Environmental Assessment (EA) in March 2006 to determine the appropriate transit facilities for East Bayfront and future waterfront communities in the Port Lands. The study, which was designed to analyze the long term residential, employment, tourism and waterfront access needs for the area, began as an Individual EA for the entire eastern waterfront and was converted to a Class EA process specific to East Bayfront transit in October 2007.

Queens Quay is the main east-west thoroughfare along the waterfront and as such, it will be the "main street" for the new East Bayfront community.
