Floating patios. Attractive retail. Bike valets. A new report seeks to make Toronto’s waterfront a destination

Floating patios, bicycle valets and a nightlife destination could help animate the downtown waterfront, according to a new report from the area’s BIA.

Multitudes of tourists walk the boardwalk along the water’s edge, cycle the Martin Goodman Trail and ride the ferries to the Toronto Islands each year without stopping to shop or eat at local businesses or restaurants, according to the report.
