It will be tied to that whole Gardiner East public realm project eventually (not in Phase I):
I think the plan is going back to the WT DRP in the next few months.

They are starting to erect a fence round it and obviously preparing to lay an access road - from the road that leads to the Don Yard

gh3* — Stormwater Facility
Situated in Toronto, the Stormwater Facility (SWF) treats urban run–off from the new West Don Lands development. While the project represents state–of–the–art handling and treatment of stormwater, the design for the facility enclosure and site also elevates the spatial role of the infrastructure, ev

It's glorious! Wonderful work by gh3. The finish looks alright in photos, too.
I do like when architects can treat these industrial objects better than the usual bland engineered solutions - there's a wonderful PoMo sewage pumping station in London that I like, that's now heritage listed!

There is a bit more on John Outram here: https://www.theguardian.com/artandd...rrorist-john-outram-cartoon-mashup-blitzcrete
I do not think there are any Toronto examples of his work.

Too bad that the boardwalk that is (was?) part of this seems to be delayed to some undetermined future!
Dear Stakeholder,
Waterfront Toronto has begun work on the final piece of a large Stormwater Management System that services East Bayfront, the West Don Lands and future communities north of the Keating Channel.
The final piece includes construction of in-water pipes along the section of the Water’s Edge Promenade spanning the foot of Sherbourne Common from approximately Dockside Drive to the southern point of 15 Merchants’ Wharf, also known as the Aqualina at Bayside condos.
As much of the work for this project occurs beneath the water’s surface and is not able to be seen, here is an overview of the work that has been completed since our last construction notice.
Work completed to date includes:
Once complete, a temporary 1.8m tall fence will be installed on the outer edge of the Water’s Edge Promenade to protect the in-water pipes and ensure this critical piece of the stormwater management system remains intact and separated from the promenade until construction on the future boardwalk is ready to begin. We hope to provide an update on the boardwalk in 2023.

Work completed to date includes:
- Significant progress on underwater beams
- Pipe supports and pipe saddles
- Pre-cast panels which are part of the structural frame supporting the stormwater infrastructure
- Tie-backs for dockwall reinforcement
- Manhole installation
- 600 mm and 1200 mm underwater pipes installation
- Pressure testing of newly installed pipes
- Decommissioning of former pipes to connect the new pipes to the stormwater system
Once complete, a temporary 1.8m tall fence will be installed on the outer edge of the Water’s Edge Promenade to protect the in-water pipes and ensure this critical piece of the stormwater management system remains intact and separated from the promenade until construction on the future boardwalk is ready to begin.

Photos taken 6 February. They are doing something at the water plant.

The same City-owned parcel also contains a sanitary sewer pump station, closer to Cherry St, so this construction could be related to those works as well. The sludge from the SWM facility, as well as the sanitary drainage from East Bayfront, goes via here back north to the Low Level Interceptor trunk.

The new ramps from the Gardiner to the DVP will go awfully close to there as well. Though I think it's too early to be related to that.

Just wanted to post a reminder pic of this because it is so much more visible now that Cherry Street is open. Also didn’t realise that the plaza and water feature were done; no indication of it from the sidewalk. I imagine that this will be more open to the public later on. Taken 11 February.
