The Don Roadway

No idea how thick the concrete base is as well how deep they went considering the area was still at grade when I last saw it

Rocky said the concrete piles go all the way down to bedrock along this stretch of Don Roadway to prevent it from sinking into the buried pollution there.
Final road surface level should be close to the top of the silver cylinder supports for the hydro line towers.

Thanks.

The road will slope from the Lake Shore to the Commissioner Bridge

Very slow getting the new westbound Lake Shore E built and was expecting to see more done then what has taken place. No sidewalk in place on either side as well.

Piers are being formed for the new Don River bridge and hard to say if the steel beams for the new bridge will be place on the new piers this year, but will not open until next year. Then the new intersection for the Don Roadway has to be built along with the new cycle bridge and path for it.

What a hoot!

When I saw the workers assembling the Snowy Owl yesterday morning on the way to work, I knew someone here would beat me to posting photos! Here's another look from later in the afternoon.

This LinkedIn post from the CEO of Toronto Global includes some models of Villiers that are new to me. Maybe they're new to you too? Apologies if these are old news!

Amazing, it's like the High Park Playground on steroids.

Great! Who is the architect? And if I am not mistaken this might be the regional playground that WT is looking for a sponsor for?

I think this is the model they have (or had?) on display in the new WT offices on QQE a few months ago.

The last of the photos for the area are online now

Small amount of the old Cherry St bridge footing still to be remove

The playground almost looks like it was designed for hamsters...

^Thank you!

Did something newsworthy happen along Commissioners today? A CityTV reporter was on the bridge this afternoon at 6 pm. I thought maybe I had missed something about the north plug being removed.
