The treeless waterfront, a shock to the West 8 firm, is destined to get thousands of trees between Queens Quay and Lake Ontario, where an 18-meter wide wooden boardwalk will hug the shore and extend out into the water. Queens Quay, the heart of the waterfront, will lose two of its four lanes, with the southern-half turned into a pedestrian walkway separated from the road by the existing streetcar line.

The plan calls for demolishing the Gardiner Expressway, replaced by a European-style boulevard, with the CN Tower connected to the waterfront by a wide pedestrian avenue.

Smaller waterfront elements include slips, lighting, paving, the streetcar lane, a promenade and extending the Martin Goodman Trail.
