Instead of "Rail Deck Park", maybe we should call the park, south of Front Street, "Esplanade Park"?
From link: Originally conceived as a city beautification project to clean up the city's waterfront in the 1850s, the street (Esplande) was taken over by the coming of the railways to Toronto in 1850.
The original Esplanade was to be a walkway in a park setting, where the citizens of the early city of Toronto could walk along the shoreline. It wasn't to be. At least, turn part of the land that the railway took over back.
