I've been waiting for this announcement my whole life! Every tme I walk down on that strech of Front Street I can't help but imagine the potential. Nice to see the city recognizing that potential. Bring it on!
Only slightly smaller that Millenium Park in Chicago. Similar size, similar concept. Would be nice to have a similar funding model. Westons, McCains, Schwartzes, Rogerses, banks: open your pockets.
It's a waste of money. We have too many important infrastructure projects that are unfunded.

If that fund has enough money to fund the bulk of this project, that would be great.
If the air rights above the rail yards are purchased by private developers, this opportunity is permanently lost, whereas the DRL can always be tunnelled.We have crucial transit projects that are unfunded or underfunded that are more important than a new park.
That fund is for the whole city of Toronto and its parks that are in various states of disrepair. Before blowing a billion dollars on a strip of grass let's fix some broken benches and lights first...If that fund has enough money to fund the bulk of this project, that would be great.
