Exactly. I know when I have dropped by the site and there has been an east wind blowing it absolutely stinks!

It would e cool if the streetcar were to be extended here. Won't happen I'm sure, though.

I don't know, once Hurontario LRT is done and is hopefully a success, maybe the tone on a Lakeshore LRT will have changed. Also, with these new massive developments happening along Lakeshore, the new density could easily warrant an LRT line.

LAKEVIEW COMMUNITY PARTNERS LIMITED SELECTS SASAKI AS LEAD MASTER PLAN ARCHITECT FOR LAKEVIEW VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT​

Mississauga should've been responsible for developing Toronto's waterfront. Now this is what I call having a vision.
