It's a better use of the land, and an opportunity to create a really bold and exciting piece of urbanity.

While the idea you presented is intriguing and interesting, wouldn't that be better suited to the bayfront/portlands? Stanley Park seems to work out quite well for Vancouver and Toronto certainly could use more accessible beaches next to the urban center of the city.
Out of curiousity, where did you get that map and render from? I didn't realize there was a real proposal for that area.
