We already have that, east and west of the central core. The waterfront west of Ontario Place, all the way to Etobicoke, is mainly all open parkland (besides the few private clubs) and from Cherry Beach Park, all the way to Scarborough, it's also open parkland, including the huge area of the Leslie Street Spit. It's actually a massive area of just open parkland, so where does this false notion that Toronto needs more waterfront parkland come from? I just think there are a lot of people who don't know the city well. I have walked all the way from Bluffer's Park in Scarborough , to New Toronto, in Etobicoke (not at one time lol) and let me tell you, that is a huge amount of parkland, wilderness and undeveloped land along our waterfront.
What Toronto really needs is more public spaces like public squares, intimate arcades and small gathering areas, like they have in European cities. I would love to have those little, intimate, retail arcades and lane-ways like they have in Melbourne. With all the monster condos going up, we are missing the opportunity, to create great little intimate spaces between the buildings. They could provide great lane-way spaces or arcades for cafes, restaurants, little art galleries and small shops. (as well as provide connections to streets) If the West Don Lands or eastern waterfront provide some of these intimate spaces, I will be quite happy.
I think that was my fault because I mentioned Sugar Beach lol
