I am once again asking for all city departments to roll up into Waterfront Toronto, which is the only competent department in the city. Not just competent, but very high performing. Outstanding transparency, communication, foresight, execution.. just awesome

What are all those wooden pillars near the destination park?

They are for lighting, art, play structures and a reference to the wooden poles on Toronto’s streets!

...a subtle nod that you are indeed still in Toronto -- like taking a gentle tap on the back of the head with a sledge lol
Otherwise there'd be no way of knowing it's part of Toronto... at least until the LRT is funded and you can watch those little red zippy things roam free around the dedicated ROW here.

From Waterfront Toronto
“In total, there are around 20 levels of scaffolding, reaching 40 metres (140 ft) high.
To prepare the crane for its new life as a landmark, we started with some structural reinforcements and installed new cladding around its base. Now, crews are sandblasting and repainting the crane before the parks open. The scaffolding is in place to support the sandblasting equipment and to prevent paint flakes and sandblast media from getting in the air and ground.
Each level of scaffolding you see in this photo is about 2 metres tall.
The crews working on the Atlas Crane have specialized training for working at heights.
We are painting the crane white to match its original colour, and repainting heritage features like lettering and visible gauges in their original colour. The crane will also have new feature lighting installed”

Do they plan on getting rid of those I-beams they crudely bolted on the top?

...It would be a cruel fate for some who post here if all those turned out to be utility poles. >.<

They could have simply used manlifts, much easier, faster and cheaper.Meh, scaffolding is for wimps, should have done the job with abseiling!
