Queen Street Market still awaits renewal as the Grove

The beautiful but mostly empty Queen West Market, across from the MuchMusic building will soon be transformed into a healthy food court, but not as soon as originally planned. The Grove, as it will be called, was initially scheduled to open by the end of 2011. But delays in design and planning have set the grand opening back until April of this year, says Lisa Borden, a founding partner of establishment.

The historic market space will be filled with a variety of food alternatives in a neighbourhood that is currently mainly populated by either sit-down restaurants or junky fast food like Pizza Pizza and Subway. “I want a group of ten coworkers to be able to walk in to The Grove and realize they never have to fight about where to eat lunch again because it has something for everyone,” says Borden.

Rob and Doug Ford unveiled their much-hyped new vision for the Toronto Port Lands to the City’s executive committee yesterday, who put its support behind transferring oversight of the area from Waterfront Toronto to the Toronto Port Lands Co. (TPLC). Under the direction of architect Eric Kuhne, the TPLC envisions an almost Las Vegas-like reworking of the formerly industrial area, highlighted by a monorail, the Hearn Ice Palace (complete with an observation deck where the smokestack is now located), a giant Ferris wheel and super-mall, a roundabout on Cherry Street and what’s been described as an emerald necklace of green-space encircling the area.
