Fort York Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge - Environmental Assessment
The City of Toronto, Waterfront Secretariat has completed a Class EA study to determine the preferred option and preliminary design details for a pedestrian and cycle bridge over the rail way corridor west of Fort York. The project will commemorate the Bi- Centennial of the War of 1812 and is anticipated to be constructed in time for bicentennial celebrations in 2012. The pedestrian/cycle connection is an opportunity to improve and strengthen the public presence and access of Fort York. This can be achieved in part by re-establishing connections to existing parks, open space and trails within the Fort York area and the waters edge of Lake Ontario.

Toronto's waterfront is our front porch to the world. With the right kind of investment, the waterfront will become a necklace of green, with pearls of activity; people living, working and enjoying it with pride and passion.
The new Toronto waterfront will offer the quiet joy of strolling along miles of wetlands, parks, boardwalks, promenades and heritage foot trails. It will offer the excitement of arts festivals, bike and boat races and activity-filled public squares.
All this activity will create the synergies needed to draw even more jobs and investment to Toronto. Toronto's quality of life may be our greatest competitive attraction. Our new waterfront will be a model of how economic development, environmental protection, and cultural and recreational growth can go hand in hand, each complementing the other.
Toronto's waterfront will become a magnet to tourism and will make Ontarians proud of their capital.
Making Waves: Principles for Building Toronto's Waterfront, produced in 2001, spelled out key public priorities, opportunities and an implementation process to ensure results. With this report, Toronto begins "making waves" to build its new waterfront.
