TORONTO - Details of the technological innovations planned for a futuristic development in Toronto recently provided by Sidewalk Labs are satisfactory to evaluate the project, an official of the government-mandated development agency told Reuters.

The evaluation by Waterfront Toronto, due to be wrapped up by March 2020, will look at the feasibility of the Alphabet subsidiary’s proposals, which include plans for self-driving garbage cans and infra-red sensors to track foot traffic in stores. Kristina Verner, Waterfront Toronto’s vice president of innovation, said on Monday Sidewalk’s latest document did “a good job of satisfying the information we need for the evaluation” of the project in the Quayside area of Canada’s largest city.

Some solutions “will no longer have the capacity or the financial justification” to be implemented, Verner said, pointing to proposals to create a vacuum waste system and build new energy infrastructure in the Quayside area.
