Reviving Toronto's Waterfront

"The key, they suggest, is to get a critical mass of people living on the waterfront and to extend public transit and the existing street grid to the lake. They also believe the 120-metre-wide cordon that would hug the shoreline should be reduced to 5 or 7 metres. This smaller, more intimate, route would be lined with restaurants, shops and residential buildings no more than eight storeys high."
