The new road and bridge are roughly where T&T and its massive parking lot used to be.

I took a quick cell pic of (old) Cherry Street already broken into pieces.

Unleash the water and flood it all! Long live new Cherry Street!

My only pet peeve here is that the dividers separating vehicles from bikes look like a cheap afterthought. So much attention put into the bridges themselves, but no attention put into the finishings.

Unless this is temporary?

Four words: Union Station Jersey Barriers.

Not sure what problem you see: The barriers are metal and 'truck proof" on the vehicle side and wood on the cyclist side. Look pretty decent to me. What did you expect?

Something that continues the theme of the bridges for starters. The plywood and raw metal look aren’t doing it for me.

Agreed. That wood side looks particularly unfinished/temporary. Hopefully it's just a delay in materials?

What they showed in the renderings was a bit more... elegant

Has to be temporary. I think at the very least they'd paint the wood.

 

[denfromoakvillemilton]

looks to be coming along nicely...

There's no way all those installed metal barriers are temporary imo.

As for the wood side, actually looks like it would reduce injury in a cyclist mishap, so makes sense.

Just needs a cool 110 metre (very skinny) graphic in paint or other... that complements the bridge design.

I agree. They did it with the bike barriers on Adelaide. They can do it here too.

Imagine having this on the Toronto waterfront such as on the western tip of Villiers Island.

I’ll go by with some white Tremclad for the metal, and yellow for the wood.

isn't there supposed to be a streetcar extension? does it go over this bridge or another?
