On the agenda

As the city filed it

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Don Roadway, which is being rerouted along Commissioners Street, City Council approval is required. As part of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project and Enabling Infrastructure Project, Waterfront Toronto is planning to create two new additional outlets for the Don River and widen the mouth of the river at Keating Channel. In order to facilitate the flood protection and the new configuration of the river path, a new dockwall along the west side of Don Roadway will be constructed.
