As the city filed it

Leslie Lookout Park is about to be opened to the public and will be a signature part of the revitalized Port Lands. Ensuring that people can access it safely is a key consideration. With the multi-use trail on the opposite side of the street from the new park, a safe crossing across Leslie will allow for pedestrians and cyclists to safely access the park. Leslie Street has regular heavy truck traffic due to ongoing construction at the Ashbridges Water Treatment Plant and existing industrial uses in the area.
