Just today I began to think about the advantages of building over the Toronto Island Park. I know that the first opposition to this (the same thing I used to think) is that why get rid of a beautiful park that's surrounded by water and is so close to the core?
But let's be honest here, not that many people go to that park, 99.99% of people in the down town probably don't see it as anything other than 'that clump of trees off the coast'. Majority of it's visitors are boating enthusiasts who really don't need to be close to the core to enjoy boats.
What I'm thinking about is a Venice like piece of the city that would give the city both the feeling of Venice/Amsterdam as well as of New York/Hong Kong with the neat body of water in the midst of the buildings. Most importantly, the shore of urban Toronto would greatly increase.
