Quayside

Quayside is a 4.8 hectare (12 acre) parcel of land on Toronto’s waterfront, located at Queens Quay Boulevard East and Parliament Street. Through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, Waterfront Toronto engaged Sidewalk Labs to develop a proposal for these lands – called a Master Innovation and Development Plan (MIDP). The City of Toronto is not a party to the Plan Development Agreement between Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs and will not be an author of the MIDP. City Staff are working with the two organizations to encourage the development of proposals that are consistent with applicable City policies and regulations. City of Toronto engagement for the project is managed by the Waterfront Secretariat in the City Planning division.

In June 2019, Sidewalk Labs submitted their MIDP to Waterfront Toronto for review. On October 31, 2019, Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs agreed that Waterfront Toronto would evaluate a subset of the proposals based on the resolution of certain “threshold issues” that had been the subject of negotiation between Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs. On November 14, 2019, Sidewalk Labs released a “Digital Innovation Appendix (DIA)” providing updates to the MIDP which reflect the threshold issues resolution process described above as well as further detailed information on the digital innovation proposals and Sidewalk Labs’ approach to responsible data use.

The next major decision point for Waterfront Toronto’s Quayside project is expected in May 2020. Should Waterfront Toronto’s Board decide to move forward with Quayside, the City’s review and evaluation of the proposal would proceed as per the work plan presented to the City’s Executive Committee in June 2019. City staff would undertake a comprehensive review of the Quayside MIDP along with the related Waterfront Toronto Board decision, in consultation with relevant City Divisions and Agencies, and report back to the Executive Committee. Proposals related to digital infrastructure will be evaluated based on the City’s emerging Digital Infrastructure Plan. Evaluation would include a rigorous City-led public consultation process and staff report. Public meetings would be held throughout the City and will be webcast. The timing of the Quayside report to the Executive Committee would likely be in the fall of 2020.
