The site is now fenced off in the standard WT blue/grey fencing and there is some excavation going on behind it.

Some work going on by the dock wall.

Taken over the fence, barge Metis being unloaded with signs of lot clearing going on. Hard to tell from this view, but doesnt look like much has happened since @achender posted his above photo.

Claude Cormier touches on this in a recent issue of Azure:

"Risk is Where Success Resides": A Q&A with Claude Cormier

Renowned Montreal-based landscape architect Claude Cormier reflects on a 26-year career, the future of public space and Montreal vs. Toronto.

"We’re also doing another waterfront beach in Toronto, the Leslie Spit Lookout Park. I’m about to go into a consultation meeting with an Indigenous Sharing circle about it, actually. We’ve been working closely with them. We have a lot going on, as always. But at least, the book is done!"

Slightly OT - but I find his comparison between Montreal and Toronto quite interesting.

I can't imagine having those construction/aggregate sites next to this beach will be very pleasant. Relaxing next to any dust blow over and sounds of trucks/heavy machinery isn't very appealing to think about.

Perhaps this is to prepare for a repurpose of the area and once the leases for those sites are up they will be redeveloped as well? Anyone know how much longer may be on those leases?
