Sidewalk Labs has faced public scrutiny over its plans to build a smart city on Toronto's waterfront, adding obstacles for the project.
Doctoroff, a former New York City deputy mayor for economic development, assured the audience Wednesday he shares the public's concern over data collection. He said Sidewalk Labs has proposed an
control that aspect of the project. But it seems that public opposition and perhaps standard government bureaucracy has delayed the project's original timeline.that he hoped to break ground on the project in 2020 and move in the first residents as early as 2022. Doctoroff still hopes to break ground toward the end of next year, he said on Wednesday, but now believes the first buildings will open around the end of 2023 or early 2024 in the best-case scenario.
"These things take time, but that doesn't mean we can't begin to see the real fruits from a quality of life benefit perspective within a few years after the place opens up," Doctoroff said. Once the project reaches a more mature stage, he said, Sidewalk Labs' sister company Google will move in. "We would significantly expand Google's presence in Toronto and move the head Canadian headquarters down to the waterfront," said Doctoroff. Google's presence would serve "as a catalyst to economic development" as locals begin to utilize the previously underused space, he said.
