For years people heading west on the waterfront trail had to end their shoreline journey just beyond the arched span of the beautiful Mimico Creek Bridge and continue on busy Lake Shore Blvd. All that changed in 2012 when the new Mimico Waterfront opened, continuing the trail from Humber Bay Park West to Norris Cres. The linear park was more than ten years in the making and a joint project of Waterfront Toronto and Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA). To create the park a strip of property along the lake was either purchased or expropriated. Toronto is not, historically, a master planned city, it just kind of happened.
