Waterfront Toronto's plan to build a connected walkway along the water's edge has been in the works since 2006. This rendering of the detailed boardwalk design shows a portion of the East Bayfront. The 158-metre boardwalk would run along the Water's Edge Promenade at the foot of Sherbourne Common. Designed in a herringbone pattern using Thermowood Ash, the boardwalk would be six metres wide and would run the full length of East Bayfront, from Parliament to the Jarvis Street Slip.
