Yes. I hate to say it, having enjoyed living in Toronto for 6 years and having worked directly on the waterfront for 3, but it's by and large a failure.
I was just in Chicago and the difference is profound.
I was also in Milwaukee.... it makes far better use of its waterfront.
It's disappointing that a 5th tier American city had the vision to program its waterfront with generous green space and civic/cultural institutions, whereas our premier city decided to largely privatize theirs. Perhaps Milwaukee was just copying its big brother 1.5 hours away, but the results still speak for themselves.
A truly wasted opportunity.
