Toronto Don Mills Crossing Trail Bridge | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

The City of Toronto is developing designs for a new pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Canadian Pacific Rail (CPR) corridor to connect the existing Don Mills Trail to the Wynford Drive Extension within the future Crosstown Development at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East.

Does this project need its own thread? I'm open on that..............

At any rate, previously covered in the Cycling Infra thread, with additional renders, here:

Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

So EELRT should generate cycling facilities on Kingston Road (Eglinton to Morningside); and on Morningside. (ideally on Eglinton East as well, though that will require some property taking in spots. Let's hope the city puts together funding and finds funding partners for the EELRT. I really...

Garrison crossing had its own dedicated thread, so I would advocate for the same here with this pedestrian crossing bridge.

A bit late of a post but the Environmental Study Report was available from May 30 to June 28 for public input. Link to all the documents can be found below. A statement of completion has come out.

Don Mills Crossing Trail Bridge

The City of Toronto has completed the Don Mills Crossing Trail Bridge Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to identify a recommended plan for a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge crossing the Canadian Pacific rail corridor to connect the existing Don Mills trail to the Wynford Drive...

Is that looking northwest, toward the rail cooridor/Wynford Dr.? I was up here recently and wondered if there was any progress on this bridge. I imagine it is delayed until there is some completion of streets and buildings to access.
