Is it more or less complex than the stairway at Tom Riley Park?
Is that connection to Sorauren Park included in the plans? I thought that was only talked about as a possible future expansionThanks! And one of the bridges is very complex with three sets of ramps/stairways that connects the new community centre at Wabash to Landsdowne.
Correct. The connection to Wabash is not funded, but the bridge landing is designed to accommodate a future connection.I thought that was only talked about as a possible future expansion
I think this is a separate bridge rehab project. The new bridges for the railpath extension will be over the Barrie Line, Lansdowne, and Brock, and they'll be brand new and purpose built.
Queen as well, the Dufferin jog elimination project really only did half the work needed on the Queen Street Subway.I think this is a separate bridge rehab project.

Under the funding agreement...www.toronto.ca
$75 million a kilometre for a bike path? Are they nuts?
Seems like a much better investment than spending 2 billions on the GardinerThe media should be making a frenzy over this.
We will not be able to realize an extensive bike network if we put up with insane costs like this.
Im just confused more than I am angry. How is it this expensive?
This might be the worst case of public overspending I have seen in this city.

This may be why we can’t get any progress on the Lower Don trail. The bastards tore up a perfectly useable, albeit (and beneficially, from a speed restricting pov) bumpy trail before undertaking soil condition checks, dug a trench that no one can use, then discovered the soil wasn’t to their liking, and walked away until more money is provided, leaving the city’s residents with no trail whatsoever in its place. And now that the Railpath demands over $100 million I doubt the Lower Don will be funded and restored to even its original condition until 2028. Who is running and estimating our recreational trail projects at city hall?The media should be making a frenzy over this.
