The City of Toronto’s plans to build Rail Deck Park have come to a screeching halt.
The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) has sided with the Craft Development Corporation who owns the air rights for the rail corridor, south of Front Street between Bathurst and Blue Jays Way.
The company has made its ambitions clear that it wants to build a multi-tower, mixed-use community on the property.
LPAT says the city should not have rejected Craft Development’s proposal to build the 6.5-hectare extension. It also says the city hasn’t taken any substantive steps over the last nearly five years to advance the park plan.

So much for the City of Toronto’s grand plans to build Rail Deck Park.
The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) has sided with the Craft Development Corporation who owns the air rights for the rail corridor, south of Front Street between Bathurst and Blue Jays Way.
