Now they really need to give that stuck bridge a nice new paint job like electric lime or something to make feel part of all the other great bridges in this area.

Sorry, just to be clear I certainly don't want to shut down the movie industry out there. I just meant like any areas where there's legacy industry that isn't needed anymore. Like what is happening with East Bayfront. But yes, a city will always need certain services and a place for those...

While I was in the area I swung the camera around a little and captured a few other interesting views... The amount of low-density former industrial land between Eastern Ave and the Lake is staggering. Decades of development potential there. Speaking of density, new Regent Park is looking...

mburrrrr's original photo from October 30, 2023: And mine from the same angle May 6th, 2024: Most of the progress seems to be in the tearing down and clearing areas rather than building new. You can see big swaths of land are now cleared but not developed.

Alex just hates cars. He wants us to be totally bicycle / transit dependent. Which is totally unrealistic for young families with kids, people with mobility issues, etc. Just as the suburbs suck because they are totally car dependent, what Alex is proposing is likewise idiotic because it...

Come pay your respects to the last bits of the old Cherry Street Bridge. It's nearly gone.

South plug fully gone. North Plug is now just one razor thin wall standing between the Lower Don Lands and the Might Don River!

Bridge still up.

I wonder how many times it needs to go up and down per week? Google Maps is alternately showing road closed until May 6th or May 8th.

My photos shows 2 tracks currently. So tripling that would go to 6 not 9.

It's been down the last few days, so I guess it just went upright again recently. I rode across it a few time over the weekend.

Wow. I didn't realize it so it's tripling the width of the corridor, not just doubling it. Me thinks people will be complaining about cutting of trees and removal of greenspaces.

Thanks! I'll try and have a look at that this weekend. It's just off Leslie Street before Tommy Thompson Park begins.

What's with all the trailers and camper vans? Have we got a bit of an encampment situation developing on this street?

Just east of (former) Don Roadway between Commissioners Street and Lake Shore Blvd. Clay, clay, clay and more clay.

Is all of this soil being removed for the new mouth of the Don where it meets Keating Channel?

Two shots from today. Villiers Island really is an island now. And then with this quick photoshop below, you can really see what it'll look like with the plug removed and the Don River flowing freely into the Lower Don Lands.

^^^ So... is the west plug into Lake Ontario totally gone? Looks like it.

Too rainy to fly today. Hoping to get some nice shots tomorrow.
