The bridge belongs to Harbourfront and they have no money to fix it. The new CEO has said it will be fixed, she hopes, but no date. (SEE: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/it...cle_b2a7ae9a-d452-4a17-bbf3-748e0618f668.html )

The power of @DSCToronto on display again.....

But I'll bring the full motion forward so he can enjoy the afterglow properly.

So, it will have taken 5 years to reopen this key bridge in one of the city's busiest tourist spots. Unacceptable and embarrassing. Why so long? Additionally, how (and why) was it allowed to fall into disrepair in the first place? I'm trying really hard to understand why such things are not prevented.

The bridge is technically the responsibility of Harbourfront Centre, not the City .

They haven't had a solid budget for years.

The last CEO actually did a good job of fixing this...........but after more than a decade, if not two of very precarious finances.

The City is chipping in here......and will secure a deal as part of that that proper ongoing maintenance cannot be neglected.

No, it should not have taken anywhere near this long to resolve. .

It looks like a poor man's Bota Bota Spa-Sur-l'eau, but I'll take it.

This is literally what saunas are, though. Whether people will be diving into the harbour for the cool period is another thing..

Baby steps!!!

That's the main problem with Toronto - most things are seemingly done with a meek approach.

Council is in the midst of dealing with the Budget where this is up for a vote. Not sure if this is $450K MORE than discussed and approved in the TEYCC motion a: few months ago or ??? but it is $$ of some sort.
