Look back on this thread, posted here.

Last night in history you will ever see this traffic pattern:

Tomorrow it will look like this:

And the cherry tree stand will be bulldozed.

Says who? There are TPZ signs all around it.

Something I noticed with Google maps is that they’ll cut out street view on stuff as soon as the road is “closed” - so if anyone needs street view from the bridge, get it now I guess.

There she is boys, the final street view.

A couple more things I noticed today on Commissioners. The TTC bus stop is the hybrid style, with asphalt ramps and Zicla platform. The city seems to have a few different configurations depending on where you look. I wonder what factors into the decision on what style of use.

The curbs separating the cycle track are secured to the pavement with rebar posts. This should mean they won't be easily knocked out of alignment, a common complaint elsewhere.

BTW, if anyone doesn't know what The Lookout is, it's the blue structure (left side of the first photo) at the south end of the yellow Cherry St bridge. It's a shipping container with scaffolding and platforms above it. It will be open from 2 to 5 pm tomorrow, hopefully with staff on site to point out the highlights of the park.

...and the summer days all along there are beckoning to be looking forward to. <3

The Cherry St bridge wasn't officially open as of 7:45 am, but they let me cross anyway. They are still working on clearing snow and slush from the cycle track. Fencing is still up around Commissioners. I'll check back around 9:30 am.

I've never been more excited in my life over two streets and two bridges opening

The Zicla is the standard 'temporary' raised cycle track/platform the City is using now for transit stops.

When a road undergoes reconstruction/major resurfacing, permanent ramped stops will be built wherever practical.

But all the temporary platforms are coming from Zicla

Every map I've seen shows a building standing on that corner, including the map posted on the previous page. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Still on track for 3PM Opening today.

Just talking to my lawyer friend who is involved on this project. They're busy getting all the paperwork finished up so the road is legit in time.
