It might have required a jolt from an audit of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation, but there is increasing evidence that plans to spruce up the area are working.
"Ottawa is finally interested in Toronto's waterfront. Last week, a team of federal forensic auditors showed at the offices of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corp. to take a look at the books."
"In the meantime, downstairs from the TWRC's quarters in Queen's Quay Terminal at the foot of York St., workers are busy building a new Sobey's supermarket."
"The conjunction of events might not seem especially significant to the TWRC folks, but in fact it is proof that the goal they're after -- a waterfront neighbourhood -- is already being realized. Indeed, it has been happening for several decades."
