Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

[drum118]

There is a precinct plan dated to 2010:

It foresee partial filling of Parliament Slip. This is nothing new.

LOL, I was on the committee that worked on that plan. Gee!!!...............Thanks

It was a given that the slip had to be fill in as well retaining the silos. We need to retain parts of buildings to show our past. It was sad to loose the old buildings to fire for the park

AFAIK the silo is expected to stay in the plans.

That was a given during the study and the final plan. How it will be retain is another thing

I remember seeing a render of a re-aligned Queens Quay going around the silos in the form of a traffic circle.

If you look at post 1097, the report shows it going around the silo

30% design by April 2021, but when will it go to 100% is unknown at this time. If quick design work on QQE only was brought up to 100% in 2021, tender could go out in 2022 and construction starts late 2022. First work would be filling in part of the Young Slip to start build the new entrance to the hotel.

TTC could start building part of the new portal one the current entrance is close off and that could be 2024/25.

What needs to be known in the next year is the extension going to stop at Parliament St as plan or will it continue to the Cherry St Loop?? Council will decide that since there is no funding in the current capital budget to go to Cherry St Loop that I know of. If council approves the funds, an EA will have to take place since there is no EA for that extension as well getting under the rail corridor.

Then the other unknown, will TTC allow an east-west connect to the current Bay tunnel?? TTC needs to be scrap if it doesn't allow the building of a T connection considering it been on the books for over 10 years.

Bottom line, everything has been effected by COVID -19 and where is the money going to come from with next to no income as plan today?? A budget is only good if you have the money to cover it.
