Personal opinion: it was risky to bring these components to the site so far in advance of installation. Everybody knows that closures in the Don Valley trail system are a joke (in terms of being observed or being enforced), and it’s obvious people have been moving around the site and checking out these components. When installation finally happens, it would not come as a surprise if another delay is caused by missing pieces. Hope I’m wrong!

The barriers are falling apart in some places.

Example: The Queen Street barrier for the stairwell going down to the trail, has layers of panels and such on top of each other and was secured with metal wire. Worst yet, the "layers" have signage in there that has fallen between the layers.

I noticed this barrier was hanging opened today as I walked by. All those wires were totally rusted and looked like they simply snapped.

As for pieces missing. Those images I took. I'm sure those pieces weigh hundreds of pounds each. I seriously doubt anyone is moving those without significant help and resourcefulness.

With The Esplanade bike lanes directing westbound cyclists north on Scott, it sure would be nice to have a bi-directional bike lane up Scott and Victoria. I think it could be done without removing any existing car lanes so as not to draw attention from Ford.
