Not quite, very close, but the vehicle parking entrance is still exposed and landscaping is still required at the south end of Hart House Circle as well as by the west end of Temerty, should be wrapped by the end of May.

I wouldn’t say so. The southeast part of Hart House Circle and southwest part of UC Quad are still fenced off with constructions underway

Lots of baby Cherry Blossom trees are blooming around the field!

Whaaat? That's part of its character. I'm not sure but the blackened exterior might be due to the fire a hundred years ago.

They are not unappealing, but I think it might have been nice to use the native ones; though they tend to have white flowers, not pink.

How Toronto to view soot, dirt, run down, shabby and/or neglect as 'character'. In most places around the world, restoration is the preference.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with the poster's preference, turning one poster's view into 'Toronto' writ large is rather BlogTO in the way of generalizing. Its not good form.

I wish they carried over some of this design language towards St George Street as well. There's no need for that street to be as car-centric as it is.

St. George is car-centric?
It only has one lane in each direction and has bike lanes.
It was completely re-done 20+ years ago to narrow it from 4 lanes when it really was car centric.

I think a couple of modest tweaks on St. George could be made, by removing some embayed parking. Where this is done, it may be possible to upgrade one or both bike lanes (each direction) to cycle tracks. In front of Robarts is an obviously choice.
But on balance I would not describe St. George as car-centric.
