• a new waterfront rapid transit line is established to help relieve congestion and serve thousands of new residents near the lakeshore
  
• Lakeshore Boulevard, largely hidden under the crumbling Gardiner, is re-designed as a grand boulevard
  
• innovative retail and north/south links are created below the eastern rail berm (see East Lakeshore Mall)
  
• an extraordinary pedestrian and cycling route, underwritten by the private sector (see skyPATH)
