Sidewalk Labs CEO Dan Doctoroff says his firm will act as a “catalyst” to help develop and deliver the infrastructure upon which the Quayside neighbourhood will be based. All of this and more will require substantial investments of money and resources, and Sidewalk Labs will be an “essential catalyst” to help deliver that, Doctoroff says. Doctoroff said the plans should quell the concerns of all but the most “extreme” critics of the Quayside project. Sidewalk Labs would not receive any special status or rights in terms of accessing the data. A digital strategy advisory committee of experts set up to advise Waterfront Toronto, the tri-government corporation partnering with Sidewalk Labs on the Quayside project, will review the digital governance proposals Thursday.
