I suspect they'll renege and screw us again, but originally they did promise a pedestrian bridge to Corktown. Though why it would be there, instead of north of the Ontario Line I don't know.

I wonder if there was no safe route across the Bala/Don Branch tracks once the OL portal design with the GO tracks passing over top of it was finalized? It’s certainly missing from the render videos.

They do plan on reusing the existing Bala/Don Branch underpass over the Lower Don River Trail connection at Corktown Common. As for a crossing over the Don, that falls outside the scope of the Ontario Line Project and into the scope of the Lake Shore Boulevard East Public Realm project, the Port Lands Flood Protection project, and the Gardner Expressway Realignment. The plan for that is to realign the Lower Don River Trail to connect to the planned Multi-use Path on the north side of Lake Shore Boulevard which will then cross the Don River on the Lake Shore Boulevard bridge.
