Explore Toronto's $1.25 Billion Man-Made River
Toronto is undergoing a massive transformation with the $1.25 billion Port Lands Flood Protection (PLFP) Project. A key highlight is rerouting the Don River to create an artificial delta and a one-kilometre-long waterway, bringing in a new era for the city.
Since 2016, the PLFP has been grabbing attention, and a recent glimpse into the Don River mouth gives us a preview of what's to come for canoers and kayakers. Although dry for now, soon, the removal of dams at the Keating Channel and Toronto Harbour will kickstart a gradual flooding process.
The PLFP is not just about flood protection β it's a game-changer for urban development. By 2024, the project will unlock 240 hectares in the Port Lands, opening the door for a fresh neighbourhood. These former industrial lands, sitting on a floodplain, are set for a major makeover, paving the way for anticipated new developments.
Unlike other drawn-out projects facing delays, the PLFP stands out for sticking to its timelines and cost estimates. Waterfront Toronto's commitment to efficiency positions this initiative as a model for successful long-term planning in the city.
Follow along as we witness Toronto's big change unfold with the PLFP β where nature meets innovation, and a brand-new neighbourhood rises along the rerouted Don River. Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking project reshaping the city's future.
