Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

This section remains the biggest question mark to me. Is this going to be a tunnel or a bridge? The change in grade would have to be quite stark to reach clearance over the trains.
And if they do pursue the connection to Sorauren Park (which I would love to see for very selfish reasons) it could be co-ordinated (integrated?) with the planned Wabash community centre.
A bridge here could be special!

It's a bridge. You can see a bit more of it rendered in this presentation, pages 25-26 - https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...ting-2_Presentation-Slides_2020.02.26-WEB.pdf
 
@vic beat me to it, but yes, it's a bridge. Pulling those images out from the presentation here for visibility:

I think I heard talk of building the bridge to Sorauren as part of the Wabash project, but I think it's unlikely that it will fit in the budget envelope. Hopefully funding can be found to add it, because it's an essential connection.
