The revitalization of Queens Quay is on schedule for completion in June 2015. While the schedule has not changed, Waterfront Toronto has encountered challenges related to soil and groundwater conditions, aging infrastructure, unforeseeable underground obstacles, harsh winter weather and other issues. These challenges have resulted in an increase to the project budget in order to meet Waterfront Toronto’s commitment to have the project completed in June of 2015 – in time for the Pan Am Games and the expected influx of tourists to the city.

Newly opened stretches of granite promenade hint at how beautiful the new street will be. Planning is even getting underway for an official opening celebration to coincide with the 2015 Redpath Waterfront Festival in June.
