The “ice-breaking” media event was bitterly cold, but was sweetened by the coming together of a vision to warm up a hostile urban space. It is the first section of The Bentway, Toronto's newest public space located under the Gardiner Expressway just west of Bathurst St. This is especially timely given the shortage of park space downtown relative to the number of people who now live there in apartments that have no backyards. Ideas for new, more conventional, park space such as those are no doubt necessary. The 220-metre Bentway Skate Trail opens to the public on Saturday.
