And from today, a little walk from the corner of the new street and Dupont, south -> west -> north around the new community centre and park:
And finally, the new bike "lanes" on Emerson. When will we finally figure out that paint is not infrastructure?

So I chatted with an official on-site today and while the buildings and park are entering the final stretches the opening will be delayed as they have found some additional Edwardian industrial surprises below ground that must be dealt with immediately. And the Timmie’s is now open and buzzing! Taken 30 July.

I wonder if that delays the opening beyond next summer. In early July I asked the city's team if the scheduled opening of the park for "Summer 2026" was still on track, this was the response:

Trees!
(Side note: can anyone provide any ideas as to wait the metal cylinders sticking up are? They are cemented in all around the outskirts of the park)

I sent an email to the project manager asking for confirmation as to the relocation of the weight training machines in the current building to the new one, and he mentioned that only the free weights and cardio machines are intended to be brought over 
The current weight room has a full range of equipment that other community centres sorely lack. I guess screw all the locals who relied on them to maintain physical health.
Good thing I joined a brand new gym down the street

I work for the city in the community youth development unit, I'll bring it up to someone that the community is very concerned about the weight room & lack of equipment being brought over to the new community centreI sent an email to the project manager asking for confirmation as to the relocation of the weight training machines in the current building to the new one, and he mentioned that only the free weights and cardio machines are intended to be brought over

But if you tell your local MP & your local MP is aware, they will do something & the city will definitely listen
But I will do my part

On other issues I've emailed the local councillor Alejandra Bravo and her staff have been good to respond to questions or concerns. Send her an email if you haven't already because she's very involved with the community. councillor_bravo@toronto.caI sent an email to the project manager asking for confirmation as to the relocation of the weight training machines in the current building to the new one, and he mentioned that only the free weights and cardio machines are intended to be brought over

I saw recently her local office on Bloor was having some repairs so they were using the rink room at the community centre as a pop up office for constituent drop-ins on Fridays 12-5pm

Yes, Dupont Fitness - they just opened on Friday. The staff at Wallace-Emerson CC were unhappy to hear of my departure.

Oh nice! The owner went to high school with me, and maybe middle school. I was debating on joining, but this area is far for me.

He seems like a cool dude - very friendly, and even introduced me to his parents, who he showed off the facility to yesterday.

My guess is that these are bollards to prevent cars from the laneway from driving into the park.

Anchors for an eventual fence, maybe?
