Though frustration about the slow pace of progress is mounting both inside and outside Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corp., the corporaton's proposed $17-billion overhaul of Toronto's dilapidated industrial shoreline moved a step closer to reality this week with the unveiling of fresh plans for the inner harbour. These days, no part of TWRC's huge mandated area is more forlorn than the 90-acre strip between the Redpath Sugar facility at the foot of Jarvis Street and the mouth of the Don River. Apart from the occasional homeless person seeking refuge in a warehouse doorway or under the ramps of the Gardiner Expressway, nobody lives there.
