Ran along the railpath yesterday and the "tree protecting fencing" is being put up along large sections of the trail.

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.

Also....this older presentation that showed some bridge options gives a bit more detail/context about the ramps leading to the bridge, etc.: https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/8e35-180911_Bridge_Boards-R2_small-1.pdf

Some pics from Friday of the fencing that's been put up (as seen from Wallace ped bridge):
And then a section where they've cut/dug up a hunk of the Railpath at Ruskin Avenue crossing. The path is now very narrow there.

Love how they included a guy in a bicycle gutter in the render...

The picture is "outdated." The Lansdowne underpass was upgraded to cycle tracks with low-concrete walls in 2021.

That looks decent enough.

Not only that but the east wall now has a beautiful mural.

The application was posted, but that drawing was not. So still a useful thing!
Edit to add, I think I posted it over the in Dundas-Bloor Mobility Hub thread, not in this one.

These pictures show the preparations for adding a fourth track to the Georgetown GO corridor. It is not directly part of the railpath extension.

The railpath and the fourth track are pretty much linked.
There is construction on the south side of Dundas that looks even further along.
