Toronto’s Western Waterfront Master Plan

Sep 24, 2007

BA Group, in partnership with planningAlliance, has been awarded the prestigious project of developing a Master Plan for Toronto’s Western Waterfront parkland and area.

The area of the Western Waterfront stretches from Ontario Place / Exhibition Grounds in the east to the Humber River in the west – a stretch of over four kilometres in length.  Once a recreation destination for early Torontonians, this section of waterfront has been drastically underused over the past thirty years, due, in part, to the physical barriers created along this significant transportation corridor by the combination of the Gardiner Expressway, the main CN/CP rail line and Lake Shore Boulevard West.

The Master Plan will take into account all aspects and potential of the Western Waterfront, including public realm development with an emphasis on park spaces.  BA Group will be leading the transportation component of the project, responding to the access and connectivity challenges faced within the area to re-establish the Western Waterfront as a resource available to all Torontonians.
