It'll probably look better when the other half (the head of the horse) is added (although heavier gauge wires would look better).

I like it! Thanks for the great coverage folks, I'm looking forward to completion here and using this much needed connection.

There were a lot of comments about the banner before the erection started to the point it was stated "if something goes wrong, better cut that banner down fast". Its only a PR thing.

Thanks for the photos. I wasn't too sure about the bridge at first, but it's looking great now that it's in place. It looks especially good at night.

Sorry, about that, how about now? Are they all visible?

After all the hoopla over this it all looks rather ordinary to me. Is it really going to be yellow or is that just the primer?
They are; thanks! They look great.

Pricetag = Ordinary... either way its a big accomplishment just to get this foot bridge, i like it

Not trying to be facetious here, but why is this considered a 'big accomplishment'?

Well, building anything over the rail corridor is a big deal, now lets see if this breaks the ice for others...like the King-West bridge at Shaw, the Queen-West bridge at Lisgar, and the the much anticipated Fort York Pedestrian bridge that might still have a ray of hope.

By my count, there are 14 ways to get across the tracks in downtown Toronto (depending on one's definition of "downtown"):
1. Strachan (Bridge)
2. Bathurst (Bridge)
3. Spadina (Bridge)
4. Blue Jays Way (Bridge)
5. John St. (Pedestrian Bridge)
6. PATH Skywalk (Bridge)
7. Simcoe (Underpass)
8. York (Underpass)
9. Bay (Underpass)
10. Yonge (Underpass)
11. Jarvis (Underpass)
12. Sherbourne (Underpass)
13. Parliament (Underpass)
14. Cherry (Underpass)
With this new pedestrian bridge, we have our first new route across the tracks downtown since (and I'm guessing here) they opened the John St. pedestrian bridge to the Skydome, the Sywalk, and Blue Jays Way in the late eighties/early nineties(?). To me that seems like a pretty big deal.

On that list dont forget the newly opened Dufferin jog underpass, and also is there not already some pedestrian tunnel built a couple years ago that connects Liberty Village to the Exhibition grounds.
