The construction was supposed to start in the fall (after eons of delays); but I can't find a tender awarded for construction here........

Lower Garrison Creek Park
A new 5,300 m2 (1.3 acres) park is coming to 170 Queens Wharf Rd. in the CityPlace neighbourhood, east of the Bathurst Street Bridge, as a result of a subdivision development project. The park design, created through extensive community engagement from 2012 to 2015, was finalized in 2018 to...

Similarly to the City web pages for the work on Market Lane Park and David Crombie Park, this one says "Construction Starting fall 2025". The City Project Manager for the two St Lawrence parks told me that this means 'pre-construction' and that 'boots on the ground" will appear 'in the spring. The City apparently has a somewhat elastic definition of the seasons (and "start"!)

Did you hear anything more about the contaminated soil at David Crombie? I'd love to know what I accidently inhaled.

Who said there was contaminated soil??? Not that it's not possible as there were rail tracks and all kinds of industry there but I have never hear of any.

Yes, you did but I never heard of it from anyone else and, though it might be true, have heard nothing since.

So at Power and Adelaide the bike lanes were not installed, however it looks like the curbs of the sidewalk were constructed in such a way that fits within the plan for future protected (ish) intersection here.
See the angle/shape of the curb in the second photo and the cutout of the curb in the first photo match the plan for the bike lanes:

Yes, BUT the crossing stripes are in the wrong locations!!! They should be in line with the 'tactile strips"!

Yes, it seems they just did the curbs, not change any road markings. I think there will be traffic lights going in here? So maybe they will do the rest of the work then.

There's a reason I don't hand out guarantees in budget season..... ... so much horse-trading.

I believe this is correct.

May need to follow up with the project lead for an updated timeframe.
Speaking of construction tenders, I wonder when the City of Toronto plans to issue one for the Bermondsey to Eglinton stretch of The Meadoway? If work is expected to start this year, they would need to get on this ASAP.

I walked to the area today and there are now(lots of) traffic light poles at BOTH Adelaide and Richmond. No lights yet but I assume the poles will soon be in use. (Soon for the City usually means 'within 6 months').
