Anymore updates from today? Will it be open this weekend?
I am sure pics will be posted and doubtful if they will open it all up this weekend, more likely all at once.

Unless there is an major pour for Cherry St North right now, no way will it open this weekend. It may miss my Dec 20th date for the road, but not for the cycles path. As of today, the cycles path is full pave, but needs some better patch work where the new meet the existing. Still needs pavers for the curb. Looks like they are not putting in curbs on the east side of the path.

Major push on to get sidewalk in place on Commissioner with the southside being pour east of Cherry on the north side that will require pedestrians to crossover to the southside at the bridge.

Tarp on top of the earth on the east side of the bridge and on the southside for the new sidewalk is to go that will connect to existing sidewalk. Most of the curbs on the eastside has been poured.

See no pouring of the road base on either side of the bridge as well no cycles path..

More concrete for the eastbound lane has been pour from what I think I saw heading west on the Lake Shore just before Saulter St S westside of the Intersection that is now full close to all traffic.

Construction Update​

We recently added water to the Don Greenway, making it the first of our new wetlands to be completed. The Don Greenway will be a new secondary outlet for the Don River. In large floods, water from the Don River will flow through the Don Greenway into the existing Ship Channel. In normal conditions, the wetlands in the Don Greenway will be sustained by water from the Ship Channel. Watch this video to learn more: Flooding the Don Greenway - YouTube

From our balcony at 430pm on this foggy Friday. According to WT's latest IG post, "This new Cherry Street will be open for cyclists, pedestrians and cars before the end of 2023. Stay tuned for more information on the opening! ". Apparently there will be a ceremony / ribbon-cutting event to mark this milestone.
