Don Valley East Coun. Jon Burnside is asking city staff to look into the option of a fixed link – like a pedestrian bridge – to the islands in Lake Ontario.
Right now, visitors can only get there by boat — and with the city’s ferry service under strain, Burnside said staff should report back on the price tag of such an option when compared to the cost of continued ferry service.
“Torontonians value their parks and greenspace but were recently told not to visit the islands due to excessive demands on the ferries.”to travellers to avoid high-traffic periods to the islands as a pair of ferries were out of action for repairs.Two of the city’s ferries – Thomas Rennie and the Trillium – were not operating, and are not expected to be back in service for at least a couple of weeks.
