Mayor’s big waterfront push mostly smoke, not much fire

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2006 / October 14

At this point in Toronto's history, the mayor may need the waterfront more than the waterfront needs him. Earlier this week, David Miller announced that if re-elected he will ensure that all the parks of the waterfront revitalization program will be completed by 2010. Why the rush? Not that anyone's complaining, but there's more to the waterfront than parks, dragon boat courses, and bike trails. Eventually, the 810 hectares that were the harbourlands will be a mixed-use community of 100,000 people. It will include recreational, retail and office space.
