Taken 15 May. I won’t duplicate the great images above. New today is the installation of the first price of art for the LAT but a bit hard to see. Also the parks on the south side are really moving along! Btw I heard unofficially that the opening date is 18 July.

I have heard unofficially that the opening is around the middle of July! And the first artwork for the LAT was installed today although hard to see.

Taken 15 May. Heard that WT is shooting for 18 July to start opening the parks on the north and east shores of the Don Estuary. The north half of the Don Roadway is motoring along, the first sculpture for the LAT has been installed and the Firehouse is beginning to reveal wonderful detailings of stonework.

The Don River Estuary is already ‘open’ for non-humans and is in full Spring mode! First 70 varieties of fish returned and now it is birds! And in mid-July it will be that most noble of Her creations, The Torontoian! #toronto #the6ix #urbantoronto #

Why are there so many wooden poles in the last two photos? What are they for?
Also is the lawn on the left space reserved for streetcar tracks?

A few more images of progress that didn’t make the cut for IG. The city is doing great things with the bike stations as can be seen with solar charging (and devices!) and art! Also the ‘park’ on the south side of the Yellow bridge is actually paths for pedestrians and cyclists/scooters that connects the paths on
Cherry to the ones on the south side of The Don Estuary.

The poles serve many functions: lighting, banners, signage, art on top like Spadina and a playful image to the iconic wooden poles lining many of Old Toronto’s streets. And yes the green strips are reserved for future LRT tracks.
And as an aside I will be keeping an eye on the fate of Canada Posts extensive holdings on Commissioners and Eastern with this round of negotiations to see what gives. This time sounds serious!

1. Someone at WT has a wooden-pole fetish.
2. The green area on east side of Cherry and the south side of Commissioners is for the future QQE streetcar.

Maybe they can rehome the wooden pole from outside of Union, it can joint the herd here, and then give it heritage status with a plaque.

I always thought the former was done to troll UT posters who have issues with utility poles…
