Is this near the No Frills at Dundas and Lansdowne? If so, glad to finally see some progress with the Railpath extension!
Yes. To the south.
Are those there to support a bridge that will exit into the No Frills parking lot area? I thought that had been cut.
The bridge could not be "cut" without canceling the whole project -- it's the only way to connect to the existing railpath, which ends at the junction of the Kitchener and Barrie GO lines. The only way to continue is to bridge over the Barrie GO.
Yes, I was thinking of the Sorauren Park connection. I think that has been cut
The design of the bridge over the Barrie Line to No Frills was future proofed to some day connect to Sorauren. There has never been any budget for this connection and Metrolinx and The City have been apoplectic about suggesting in any way that they might pay for it. Its been hard to get community and political interest on the West side partially because things like the new community centre have used up a lot of peoples time. As soon as people on the west side see the completed east side RP they will start wanting a connection the next day and then there will be some action. Its so obvious.Yes, I was thinking of the Sorauren Park connection. I think that has been cut
Here is a design picture that shows how the ramp is future proofed for a Sorauren connection. The resolution is low but the section to Sorauren is clearly labelled as "potential". The worker saying the connection is to a park may be referring to the large triangle in between the Georgetown and Barrie Lines which is intended to be a park/meeting place/ entrance to RP extension south of overpass. There are no designs for a future connection to Sorauren.
