Don River will soon reconnect with Lake Ontario

A ceremony is scheduled for Monday as the temporary dams isolating the new section of the Don River are removed. David Zura explains.

Great coverage. Please do a follow up video when the plug at the mouth of the Don River is removed. Also, a video about the new transit line in the area would be very useful.

I remember back in the mid 60's driving past the Don river and it always stank so bad. 🤢

Had no idea this project was going on…where can I buy a souvenir T Shirt?

[@BeeRich33]

See the traffic? It's horrible down there. Already! It will get worse.

[@penstateftw422]

i dont see how you can grow cities in north america without more traffic. too many tradies. not much you can do about that. Plus people hate buses, like myself.

[@amariharris]

@@penstateftw422 ppl who hate busses have inflated egos

[@penstateftw422]

@@amariharris so? Its capitalism baby. I pay to hate the bus

The city is still twiddling its thumbs on the streetcar connection to the portlands

[@Patrickair4444]

So cool

[@Loud_Mouth_Soup]

A park for people, and yet there's still a major traffic jam with single-driver vehicles. Sigh...

[@marylaczko6539]

When they "daylight ", all the other rivers and creeks that have been stupidly filled in, what do you bet the the flooding we have been experiencing stops.

[@51actual]

Parks are great. How about some affordable housing?

[@tcsnowdream9975]

That’s literally what they’re doing. They’re building the Portlands to have more housing. Hopefully with more affordable housing included.

[@waryaawariiri1812]

What "mix of residential development" didn't YOU understand?

[@UzumakiNaruto_]

@@tcsnowdream9975 *Hopefully with more affordable housing included.* Well that sounds very reassuring! LOL. What I don't understand is why doesn't the government have a crown construction company who's purpose is to take on major public projects including housing so that they don't need to build for profit? Giving these projects over to private companies is why it takes so long and costs so much.

[@theastuteangler]

I think they want us to live in the parks

[@TML-pm8fz]

It's coming. With the condo market failing you just have wait for it.

[@TML-pm8fz]

Residential developments huh? In this economy with a glut of unsold Toronto condos on the market? And a real possibility of a large immigration reduction coming soon - even if people still want to come here?

[@marktaft6467]

The Don River needs to be cleaned up first !

[@AndrewDhaliwal-iu1ws]

Last time it was clean Canada was still 95% European.

[@DAndyLord]

@@AndrewDhaliwal-iu1ws It was cleaner before Europeans, though. Edit: Also, weird place for implied racism.

[@bwolos]

​@DAndyLord yeah, your hatred was uncalled for and disgusting.

[@UzumakiNaruto_]

@@DAndyLord Of course it was cleaner before modern, civilized society arrived here. Not much pollution happening when you have a bunch of small tribes simply hunting with bows and arrows.

[@ScottySolace]

Lol everything is racism now way to devalue the word ​@@bwolos

[@geoffreylee5199]

Wouldn’t think housing is a good idea in that area.

[@LORFCASTER]

And then doug will close it down and sell off the land

[@WaitAMinute1989]

The Don River is a sewer dump, now all that going into Lake Ontario.

[@quackywhackityphillyb.3005]

I read this as "dog river" 🤣

[@TBA-zv9qt]

Meaning more garbage and sewage flowing into the lake 😂😂😂

[@BobNob1]

waste of money

[@BluntedZephyr]

Last thing the lake needs is a 'sewage outflow'.
