Spadina Bridge

central waterfront

In addition to the WaveDecks being built to invite the people of Toronto to the water’s edge a series of bridges will be constructed at the mouths of some of the slips to create a continuous promenade. Spadina will be the first to be built, construction will begin this fall and it is scheduled for completion next summer.

Similar to the Spadina WaveDeck there is a potential for negative impact on aquatic habitat so the construction of new habitat will be required to compensate for this potential loss. The difference is that in this case as opposed to the WaveDeck the waterway needs to be navigable by boats. In order to avoid interfering with the boating needs a limited amount of aquatic habitat will be created at the base of the concrete supports and any additional compensation habitat required will be constructed at another location still to be determined.
