Wait till spring (proper) and summer !

I biked down there yesterday and that's exactly the point that got hammered home. I'd be surprised if the Port Lands don't get swamped with people in spring/summer. On the plus side, it might spur the City to ramp up investment in more green/recreation space.

drum118's Weekly Brdige Update:

We have River (Pond)!!!

Found out where all the mud on the road is coming from.

Smell ya later Villiers! These guys are working non-stop to connect the Don River to our new pond.

The swans declare things open for business!

Some other section being prepared.

Looks about equal with the lake. Blow the plug!!!

And just a reminder of the industry that used to be here.

I am proud and happy to be part of a community that cares THIS deeply about things like ‘debris management’.

Do you have any pics of the debris management area?

Is this it?

Two more...

yes, exactly. it is where they're rerouting the lower don trail and widening the river.

crazy to see the Unilever building completely demolished too and progress on the rail corridor for the Ontario Line. can't wait to see the DVP/Gardiner ramps relocated.

Ah, cool. I'll take better shots of that tomorrow if I can.

I meant to take some shots for DSC but my e-permit didn't load into the drone properly to unlock it and it wouldn't take off so I have to try again tomorrow.

Fantastic series of photos. Drove through the Portlands for the first time a few days ago. The bridges are great. Having Cherry re-aligned and being able to boost east along Commish again... very cool. Can't wait to see the area blossom over the next few months and years.

I never noticed the mural on Fire Hall No. 30 until today. What a charming historic building !

Can't wait to see the DVP/Gardiner ramps relocated.

What's the plan again for how they're going to do that and keep the connection while they do the work? Are they going to build the new ramps first and then connect them and then demolish old?
