You are invited to attend the second public meeting for Project:
Under Gardiner and the related Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
This public meeting will provide updates on the design, public consultation
to date, proposed air quality assessment and the Environmental
Assessment.
The Project
Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto are developing 4 hectares
(10 acres) of new public space on underused land under the Gardiner Expressway. The space will connect seven neighbourhoods with a new 1.75-kilometre multi-use trail and spaces for cultural programming between west of Strachan Avenue and Spadina Avenue.
The Environmental Assessment
Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto have initiated a Schedule ‘C’
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to study the municipal
infrastructure required for a new pedestrian crossing at Fort York Boulevard,
a component of the larger project. The study will follow the requirements
of Phase 1 through Phase 5 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to examine the need for the infrastructure and evaluate alternative solutions and alternative design concepts.

We invite you to attend an upcoming public meeting for the Waterfront Transit "Reset" Phase 1 Study. Two public meetings have been scheduled - one at a location in the central waterfront and one at a location in the western waterfront. Both public meetings will include a presentation of the study progress to date and a range of transit concepts under consideration. Please choose the location convenient to you.
The Study
The City of Toronto, in partnership with the TTC and Waterfront Toronto is establishing a vision and plan for a comprehensive waterfront transit network.
During phase 1 of this study, we are reviewing existing waterfront transit, previously planned transit initiatives, and current and future transit needs.
A range of preliminary concepts are being developed and evaluated to help determine a preferred east-west waterfront transit solution that will integrate north/south transit and active transportation, linking people from across the City to the waterfront and its nearby destinations and attractions.
Your participation and feedback is important and will help shape the future of waterfront transit.
