Toronto's Largest Megaproject | Villiers Island Port Lands Walk

Thanks!

Hey Johnny, not sure if your familiar with the term cherry beach express. In the seventies the cops used to take detainees, suspects and people they wanted to teach a lesson to, down to cherry beach in the wee hours of the night and beat the crap out of them. There was even a song written about it on the radio by a Toronto band. One victim garnered a six figure law suit settlement so it wasn't just folklore as some people of toronto thought. Your walks generate so many memories of toronto past for us older citizens. Thanks bro, take care 👍

Thank you so much for highlighting this project, JS! Have lived in T.O. for 30 years, and had never heard the term Villiers Island before.

The Keating Channel Pub was a nice little restaurant and place to have a drink, when I use to sail around that area and frequently visited many of the landmarks around the new development. The Otter Harbour is minutes away….as well as the lighthouse bike riding trail.

im excited to see this area finished!

good morning everyone

That trolley setup makes Boston's MBTA Green Line look like the joke that it is.

Thank you.

memories of the knob hill farms that was there in the ealy 80's before the t & t supermarket.

I love just canada❤❤❤,i love just toronto❤❤❤❤

many thanks. will be Ebiking in the area soon. ps. I believe Cherry St. draw bridge designed by same person who did the San Francisco Bay bridge.

I agree with you actually. They should be installing streetcar tracks right from the gecko.

Here comes the beautiful Johnny Strides! Good day to one & all! Thanks very much for your much appreciated narratives on Toronto's goings on! Are those bridges there to add beauty to the area which, perhaps, was an astronomical cost that could have been used towards the mega project. At least, there will be affordable housing being built but how much of a low cost will it be for ordinary people looking for low cost housing which, unfortunately, many need. Thanks again for this very informative walk, beautiful Johnny Strides, take care of yourself & keep safe! Cheers! 🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅

Great job Jhonny and absolutely loved your beautiful sharing and you doing such an amazing job .. million thanks from Montreal QC
