Radisson Admiral Hotel: Ulterior Motives

Toronto Port Authority Dept: At a public meeting on Thursday night, they accused the Toronto Port Authority of having ulterior motives behind a proposal to dump rock and sediment, excavated in the construction of a pedestrian tunnel , into the water, according to The Star. Ken Lundy, director of infrastructure planning for the port authority, tried to assuage the concerns of about 50 people gathered at the Radisson Admiral Hotel, insisting there is no such plan and angry residents of the western waterfront are questioning whether a proposal to dump excavated rock and debris into the harbour off Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is really a ploy to extend the runway. There is a great deal of skepticism about why you re putting infill in the lake. There is great concern that extending the runway is the background ploy, resident Pam Mazza charged.
