Is this new info? Will the fence around the silos be down next year? Is this just structural stabilization? I assume any adaptive reuse would come later.

Yeah, the way I read that, Part 1 (scope undefined) is about just bringing it to some sort of a base state where it won't fall on the folks who are to be newly circulating around it once the plaza and other elements are done; Phase 1 is slated to start construction in 2021.
Then, Phase 2 is the permanent silo situation, for which the EOI will be released in late 2020/early 2021.
When times were good the City didn't spend a penny on this, now unless they have a stash of cash somewhere they want to go ahead?...lol

Description: | Request For Proposal Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan Implementation Public Posting: http://discovery.ariba.com/rfx/8982886 Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in partnership with City Planning and Transportation Services, and in association with Purchasing and Materials Management Division, are soliciting proposals to select a qualified professional consultant team, led by a landscape architect, to provide full professional and technical services for the design and implementation of the Eireann Quay Landscape Plan (the Project). This Project is a central component in the implementation of the larger Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan (the BQNP) – a multi-project, multi-partner revitalization initiative currently underway in the Central Waterfront's Bathurst Quay neighbourhood. The Eireann Quay Landscape Plan will play a critical role in 'stitching' pre-existing uses, and recent and emerging BQNP improvements, together to achieve a coherent identity and sense of place for Eireann Quay and the Canada Malting site - a long under-utilized heritage property on Toronto's waterfront with tremendous potential to become a cherished public open space at the water's edge, a new community and cultural event space, and a welcoming gateway to the City of Toronto for those arriving via Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (BBTCA). The City requires professional services from a single, qualified consulting firm, or a consulting team comprised of a number of firms of varied disciplines, with a commitment to design excellence, and a proven ability to design, implement and deliver high-quality public open spaces and streetscapes in a complex urban brownfield and waterfront setting that balances multiple user needs. | |||
