Toronto, June 19, 2015 – After three years of construction, Toronto’s revitalized waterfront boulevard is open – on schedule, and in time for the Redpath Waterfront Festival and the upcoming Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.

The transition back to two-way vehicular traffic operations on Queens Quay will commence on Monday June 1, 2015. From that day until June 10, eight Queens Quay intersections with the new traffic controllers and associated signal lights will be commissioned. The transition will commence from the east at Bay St. and work west to Lower Spadina Ave. and Yo-Yo Ma Lane. By June 10, it is anticipated that two-way traffic operations will be fully commissioned for the entire Queens Quay Revitalization project site.

Next to the Simcoe WaveDeck, pedestrians stroll along a newly-opened section of granite mosaic promenade.
