"Plans for revitalizing the city's waterfront have hit another wall.At 40 meetings over nearly two years, thousands of Torontonians came together to forge a future for the city's neglected waterfront. They called for a continuous swath of public green space along the water's edge, a 200-hectare park and no condominiums south of Queens Quay, east of Yonge St.But yesterday, prominent architects said there was too much green space in the plan and housing should be allowed along that stretch of waterfront.And councillors agreed."
