What is with those barges on the north side? Easier to use than the bridge?

For a minute I thought it might be a new boardwalk

I hope this is a bit more open this summer for runs and walks!

So I take it that the nasty wooden poles mentioned on the previous page are a permanent fixture? Too bad.

They were fixing the dock walls and these are used by the workers. Did you think they worked while swimming?

Regarding the Promontory Park South update noted above, there is no mention of when phase 2 of the Atlas Crane recoating will take place? Does anyone know when that is happening? Will phase 2 see the completion of the crane recoating? (i.e. the four vertical 'towers' on the left in the photo below.)

Last I heard the plan was always to have two phases: to do the north leg in the winter and do the rest of the crane when the weather is better - i.e. soon.

Hopefully this is the correct thread. This is part of the island.

Nice to have a clear view of the 3 Big Arches.

^Great! I believe that the levelled area is a lawn on the western edge of the river. Reposing opportunity!

So is the park actually opening this year? I went for a walk earlier this week and there is so much construction going on, nothing looks close to being done.

I beg to differ - I rather like those wooden poles!
