The Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant Landform Project is up for approval at the Infrastructure and environment committee.
This is a large project with a preliminary estimate of $97.7M
From the report:
The final design of the ABTP Landform Project (Figure 1) consists of three distinct sections:
•a land base that includes shoreline erosion control structures;
•a large breakwater, known as the central breakwater, constructed from the west of Coatsworth Cut; and,
•a smaller breakwater, known as the east breakwater, constructed from the southernmost headland of Ashbridges Bay Park.
The total area of the Landform Project, including the breakwaters, is approximately 27 ha of new land (lakefill)

This project is creating new land and erosion protection for a new High Rate Treatment Plant for the Don River and Central Waterfront Project which would decommission 50 Combine Sewer Overflows (where raw sewage is dumped during rain storms into the Don River, Taylor-Massey Creek and the Inner Harbour)
Site Plan is here:
Also from the report:
The Landform Project will provide
:•a land base for the City of Toronto’s High Rate Treatment Plant as identified in the Coatsworth Cut and Don River & Central Waterfront EAs;•erosion control and long term shoreline protection for City of Toronto facilities
;•diversion of sediment from the navigation channel at Coatsworth Cut, eliminating the need to dredge the channel for several decades;
•public access along portions of the waterfront; and,
•enhancement of fish habitat along the shoreline and newly created embayments.
