Rail Deck Park a No-Go in Toronto The Toronto Local Planning Appeal Tribunal chose a development project over the mayor's plan to build parkland over a downtown rail corridor. May 16, 2021, 5am PDT | James Brasuell | "Mayor John Tory and council’s dream of building a Rail Deck Park has been overruled by a provincial tribunal that says developers can build a proposed multi-tower office and condo development over the downtown rail corridor," reports Jennifer Pagliaro. The decision by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, "a quasi-judicial body appointed by the province," effectively ends the mayor's plan to build a park over the active rail corridor that runs along Front Street om Toronto.
