Waterfront Options

The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) -- the corporation that was created about 3 years back to revitalize Toronto's waterfront and has done just about squat since, has announced its first park, and the first thing they're planning to do that sounds like revitalization to me. Commissioners Park is to be a 41-acre waterfront park located between the Keating Channel and Commissioners Street, and will come complete with a lots of trees creating walkways, fields for recreational activities and the general environment to get away from the city while staying in the city. There are two design options, the Green Room and Camouflage Park, which the TWRC will be holding public consultations [PDF] to help decide on -- although they've already got a preference: the Camouflage Park design.
