Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

[DSCToronto]

I was wondering if this bridge in the photo up above. Is going to be dismantled and used somewhere in the Don lands area as a recreational pedestrian bridge etc! Or just torn down for scrap metal use.

I think it is 'scrap metal" - the demolition description noted a bit up this thread makes no mention of re-use.

Why are they putting up scaffolding below the CRANE? It clearly needs to be painted but it is surely possible to paint without a scaffold.

Probably needs repair works that can't be done with just a boom

I know that it is being painted white at some point.

 

[LUVIT!]

White? Really?

White? Really?

White for now, but eventually beige on the east from a nice coat of dust and debris.

Sandblasting maybe?

Was there really that many stunt riding bicyclists standing on their seat that they needed to make a whole sign for it?

Holy wow Batman. Been awhile since I’ve had a chance to get down here. They’ve been busy!!

Oodles of what appears to be sand deposited here.

Impressive growing scaffolding…

Impressive number of poles erected as well as numerous tree plantings much to the delight of @Northern Light . I did a rough count and there are probably 100 or so of these large poles across the area east of Cherry.

Also to the south of the river…

Did they add these stumps recently for habitat enhancement.

Plug removal…

Quite the classy introduction to Toronto for the cruise ship passengers.

Morning roundup.

Distant steps up to the promontory (distant left)…

More work all across many areas/apects…

Steps here too…

Not sure but it appears some past graffiti was removed?
