And here come the public comments for the Lower Don Lands. Urban farming, closing the Don roadway, new tunnels under the rail berm…
Promontory Park is the proposed name of the big waterfront park. (Lower Don Lands)
Current plans call for TTC/vehicle bridge at Cherry, vehicle bride at Munitions, and pedestrian/cycling bridges at Trinity and Don River

At the West Don Lands public meeting. Majority of people here are 50+, plus a lot of contractors.
Lower Don Lands design is to create a large, naturalized marsh area with enough capacity to handle hurricane-level rainfall
