Premier Doug Ford’s plan to significantly redevelop Toronto’s waterfront will have “substantial implications” on gridlock, transit congestion and could lead to the degradation of the water quality in the harbour, a city official told a Queen’s Park committee on Tuesday.
Ford has grand plans for Toronto’s waterfront.
Those include a redeveloped Ontario Place, currently under construction, a possible new island to hold a massive convention centre and proposed legislation that would see the province take over the city’s role in Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport so it can be expanded.
