A look at the Lower Don Lands as plans unveiled



The video above was released by Waterfront Toronto and gives an interesting view of what the Lower Don Lands will look like in the future. We're talking about Cherry Street, which you'll reach if you keep on going east on Queens Quay.

As we wrote earlier, Waterfront Toronto released its vision for the Lower Don Lands last week.

From the National Post

Plans to transform Toronto’s industrial Lower Don Lands into a vibrant neighbourhood may be the impetus for a conservation project that local activists have been promoting for nearly 30 years: the naturalization of the Don River’s mouth.

Waterfront Toronto today revealed preliminary schematics for the Lower Don Lands redevelopment, which includes reopening the mouth of the Don River and allowing it to meander its way into Lake Ontario between the Keating and Shipping channels.

Waterfront Toronto will unveil the plans to the public this weekend, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Lawrence Hall, 157 King Street East.
