The Amsterdam Bridge is back! I’m proud to have led a plan to restore this landmark on our waterfront, and you’re invited to celebrate its return.
The Amsterdam Bridge is back!
I’m proud to have led a plan to restore this landmark on our waterfront and it was a joy to celebrate its return with community on May 31.
The Amsterdam Bridge is an iconic destination, and an important connection in our community.
I shared the concerns of many that this well-loved bridge had been in disrepair and unusable for several years. Last year, after working with City Divisions and CreateTO in collaboration with Harbourfront Centre, City Council approved my plan to bring back the bridge!

Summer brings more people and activity to our downtown communities. With more people out and about, I’ve had many conversations about road safety and making sure we can all enjoy our neighbourhoods and get to where we need to go.
This morning, I announced the first-ever library branch on Toronto’s waterfront at Quayside! This was only made possible through incredible partnership between my office, City of Toronto staff, the Toronto Public Library, Waterfront Toronto, and the development partners, including $9 million in funds that I am proud to have allocated from our legacy community benefits tool, section 37, to make this opportunity a reality.
I'm proud to bring the first library to our waterfront, on the fast-track, as part of the Quayside development, and excited to keep working with neighbours to ensure this library branch reflects community needs.
