May 7, 2014, Toronto, ON—Queens Quay – Toronto’s main waterfront street – is being completely transformed. From an uninspiring thoroughfare to a beautiful waterfront boulevard. The new Queens Quay will connect waterfront destinations and help create a lively and active urban waterfront. But the makeover isn’t limited to above ground improvements. Much of the construction on Queens Quay is for new underground infrastructure – the municipal services we all need but rarely think much about.
