On November 3, 1999, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, Premier Mike Harris and Mayor Mel Lastman announced the formation of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Task Force. Task Force membership included the Chair, Robert Fung, and six other members.
The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Task Force Report extends the vision set out in the 1999 report, Our Toronto Waterfront! — The Wave of the Future. It describes an exciting new Toronto waterfront that would be opened up to all Toronto's citizens and visitors. The new waterfront would include over 170 hectares (400 acres) of new parks and open space, a continuous waterfront promenade, new cultural and tourism facilities, 40,000 new housing units and 10 million square feet of new space to feed new economy businesses. In a bold move, the proposal also calls for the replacement of the elevated Gardiner Expressway and $800M in new transit improvements to make it easier and more convenient for commuters to travel to, and around, the downtown.
The Task Force proposal underlines the tremendous opportunity that the waterfront offers the City as one of the largest urban revitalization projects in the world. This report describes how to build on this momentum, taking advantage of an historic convergence of interests, ideas and a vibrant economy.
