The east end of The Esplanade parking garage renovation started last month.
It looks like they are redoing the joints between the precast sections of concrete and removing the painted white lines.
I’m not sure if they are replacing and concrete or just resurfacing/sealing the concrete decks.
The West end is not open yet but it looks like it should be open this year.

I’m not sure what this old repair was all about.
Just like painting a new car, The repaired sectioned peels.
Only a few spots like this.
I’m not sure if these types of cracks are off any concern or will just be sealed up.
It looks like they sealed cracks in the past.
5th level below the open deck.

From the TPA's last meeting (June 2025), The West side is supposed to be finished "in September 2025" so I assume it will open shortly and the work on the west side is about to start:
"Car Park 43 is a 42-year-old, six (6)-level parking structure with 2008 spaces in the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood. The garage includes an eight (8)-storey Toronto Community Housing building above the structure. Car Park 43 consistently remains as one of the top five (5) highest revenue-generating garages across TPA’s portfolio, delivering gross revenue of $4.57 Million in 2023, and $3.66M in 2024 despite partial garage closure due to construction. In 2022, TPA initiated an emergency project valued at $4.3M to replace the heavily deteriorated steel stairs with new concrete-filled galvanized steel pans. This project was completed in June 2023, mitigating immediate public safety concerns. In 2023, TPA launched a two-stage SOGR program at Car Park 43 to address critical structural and system deficiencies across the facility. Stage 1, initiated in 2023, focused on the west side of the garage and included full waterproofing and asphalt replacement, concrete restoration, and complete drainage system upgrades. This phase remains on track for completion by September 2025.
Following completion of Stage 1, Stage 2 has now commenced to rehabilitate the eastside of the facility. The scope of work mirrors that of Stage 1 and includes concrete repairs, waterproofing replacement, and drainage system upgrades, ensuring a comprehensive restoration of the entire garage. ...... The project is scheduled to start in July 2025, with construction completion scheduled by Q4 2027.
