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.

Future of the Lower Don Lands to be unveiled

This moved a few days ago, and should be interesting to see what plans Waterfront Toronto has for the Lower Don Lands.

Waterfront Toronto is holding a technical briefing for media on May 7 to provide detailed plans for the Lower Don Lands which have been developed through an Environmental Assessment (EA) process.
The plans for the area take an innovative approach to naturalizing the
mouth of the Don River by moving it from the Keating Channel to Lake Ontario,
providing for the transformation of a long neglected area into sustainable new
parks and communities.
Jointly sponsored by Waterfront Toronto, City of Toronto, and Toronto
Transit Commission, the EA has examined several alternative planning solutions
for the 125-hectare (308 acre) industrial area located south of the rail
corridor in the east end of Toronto's waterfront.
Toronto Region and Conservation will also present the new river alignment
and innovative flood protection strategies for the Don River.
