They have also started paving the sidewalk? bikelane? on the north side of Lake Shore Boulevard East.

The workers are working on the curb and such at Lake Shore and Don Roadway. They might be waiting for that before moving further west.

Great pics, thanks. I am a bit puzzled about the sidewalk and bike track on north side of Lake Shore @ the Don. Eventually they will clearly link to the Lower Don Trail (which the City may have finished working on by then :->) but where will it go to/from now? Does the sidewalk/path continue further west on west side of the Don or will it, initially, only lead toa crossing of Lake Shore for those using Don Roadway and coming or going north/south to/from Commissioners??

I walked down, where it says the "Proposed Temporary Multi-Use Trail" today, to get to the bridge. Basically, I was walking on the curb most of the way. If they're going to do a trail there, there is going to be quite a bit of work needed. Old fences need to be taken down, mounds of earth need to be removed, leveling terrain, etc.

Good find though I have STRONG doubts they can open the "Red Trail' in Q4 2025 and can see no way it will link to the Lower Don trail then due to work at the Ontario Line bridge and I agreed with @GameOnBrad that fixing up the temporary pale blue trail is not going to be too speedy (though these trails need no real 'foundation' so can be pushed through quite fast as laying asphalt is not difficult. We shall see, or not!

I looked at the full Report where is states:

"The remaining multi-use trail gap along Lake Shore Boulevard East, between the Don River Bridge and Cherry Street, will remain closed following completion of this project.

Waterfront Toronto has been directed to implement a communications/signage plan to advise people cycling that the trails do not continue beyond the west end of the bridge and how to navigate the broader area. New multi-use trails will be constructed west of the bridge as part of the Gardiner Section 5 and Lake Shore Boulevard East Reconfiguration project, expected to be completed in 2030. Staff are exploring opportunities to construct a temporary multi-use trail in 2026 to re-establish this connection in the interim and will report back to City Council with further details, as required."

In short - we will not see these links soon!

None of this is very difficult and these trails have no underground infrastructure or lighting but I agree will not happen overnight!
