Replacing the Yonge/York/Bay off ramps with a Simcoe off ramp is, I believe, essential to create a cohesive feel to the area: buildings to the west (WaterClub), the northwest (Ten York), the north (One York, Harbour Plaza Residences), the northeast (Harbour Commissioners redevelopment to be determined), the east (RBC at WPP III), the southeast (Harbour Square), the south (York Quay), and the southwest (Queens Quay Terminal) will now surround an inviting public park/square, inside of surrounding a couple of off ramps with a rather uninviting greenspace within the tangle of overhead roads.
Thank goodness the planning department's recommended approval of One York/Harbour Plaza Residences comes with money to get going on the ramp replacement and park improvements. I wonder if money from Ten York will also be put towards this double goal.
