Do you know if a tunnel is planned for this crossing? No activity there when I took the drone shots on Dec 2.

Construction has commenced on the pedestrian-cycle bridge approach ramps and abutments (see Figure 2). The delivery of the steel bridge structure is expected in Spring 2024.

the north crossing is going to be a bridge and the south one a tunnel, yes.

Any updates for this "proposed multiuse trail" on the east side to connect it with the meadoway? It would have to cross Eglinton....
Or even any updates for Phase 3? Do they have funding?

If nothing has changed, The Bermondsey to Eglinton stretch is in this year's budget/plans.

I would hope for an underpass where that trail is supposed to cross Eglinton. It's busy and wide enough, never mind that the Crosstown is three tracks here for a centre storage track.

Phase 3 in the valley is tied to the fate of the Golf Course. As that site is currently legally entangled......it'll be a bit.

I'm not familiar with the situation with the golf course. Are you able to elaborate?

I'm not sure what's going on here............but Dennis Timbrell is lobbying for something here.......... Seems a bit elaborate if the plan is merely for a new clubhouse or such. But maybe that's all it is.................or maybe not............. hmmmm Most of this course is in the...

im confused, there already is an overpass for Eglinton there over the valley. The trail won't cross Eglinton in any way shape or form. It will be hundreds of feet below it.

I would assume that @Voltz is referring to the stretch of the pathway slated to be built along the Gatineau Hydro Corridor to link up with the sections already built further east. The corridor crosses Eglinton between Bermondsey/Sloane and Victoria Park, and there are no traffic signals in that stretch.

Seems to me, when riding along the end of the corridor, there was a tunnel just west of the current terminus of the corridor trail and Eglinton but I'm not certain if that is for ground/storm water...
The map above suggests there may be a link (near tunnel) on the north side of the hydro corridor. I'm not sure if the Crosstown project anticipated this need...

That is a drainage path for the upper reach of Wilson Brook. It continues westward, north of the Bermondsey Transfer Station, down into the East Don River.

@Metroscapes is on point.
And the intent, unless the design has been revised since I last saw it, is to have the trail cross Eglinton at a set of lights.

Yes that would be the location, it would be a shame if there doesn't end up being a way to cross Eglinton here without having to divert to an existing traffic signal.
