See progress on the river valley that will become the new mouth of the Don River! Since the last construction update, we opened two new roads: New Cherry Street and Commissioners Street, which you can see in this video. We also flooded the river! You can see work happening on the future parks, including the foundations for new playground structures.

    Really happy to see purpose oriented development that prioritizes the long term viability of the city rather than whatever makes the most short term cash.

    This is one of the most transformative city building projects occurring anywhere in the world. It's flood protection, climate resilient, will substantially expand green space where it's needed most (downtown), re-introduce native plants/animals, include affordable housing, and a gorgeous free/accessible public amenity. It will enrich the lives of every generation that follows. What a fabulous investment in Toronto's future. Well done!

    Bravo to all the talented engineers, construction workers, and all the other people who are working to build something the whole city can enjoy!

    Beautiful! I've always believed that Toronto's Waterfront had an enormous amount of untapped potential.
  • @Jatchua
    This is perfection. I am beyond impressed at the amount of work, but even more impressed by the quality of design that has gone into this. For the love of all things I hope the developers impress us.

    Hats off to the mayor and council that approved this project. Nice to see they had a vision for the future and not just the next election cycle
  • @crhayes
    Great communication. Seems like this project is being executed really well 👍
  • @u1zha
    Looks like a great effort in shaping an environment that isn't just stroke-inducing straight lines

    I can't wait for the new Port Lands to open and to be able to go down to the lake for a picnic.
  • @smsquared
    Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

    I haven't been down since December. I'm about to ride down now before the cold snap comes.

    The stone work looks incredible. Looking forward to the next video update!

    Really amazing project!! It’s so great to see it come to life before our eyes. I can’t wait to see the final outcome. Love the new promenades! I wondered if the existing one would continue eastward all the way up to the North bridges. It’s currently disconnected right by that ship looking condo development at the end of queens quay. It would be great if it continues all the way out to the bridges. 🙌🏾🍻
