Yes and we have been through this many times. The City wants bins that can be wheeled to their trucks and picked up mechanically and these are the best design they can come up with.. WT had quite 'pretty' bins at one time but they did not fit the City standards so they were replaced.

Yes I know... no excuse ... every other major city figured this out.. we need to do so as well..

Still some final touches, I guess.
Completion summer 2024? 4 weeks to fall 2024
From The Esplanade tonight.

Last week there were workers moving sand around so they are still 'playing with it' but it REALLY is time to open the damn thing. Politicians should be back in town next week so let's hope they can be rounded up to cut ribbons!

The Park will have its Grand Opening on Saturday, September 14th.

I was cycling past a few minutes ago and they were clearly 'tidying up' - I strongly doubt they need 2+ weeks to do so but I suppose no suitable ribbon-cutting politico could be rounded up until 14th.

Not a fan of the asphalt... especially the large open area around the lookout structure which is looking quite empty. But otherwise looking good and excited to visit!

So happy and yes I wish they would have a soft-opening now and do the official one later but sigh.

I do have a question about the promenade on the far right of the screen: will it be joined to the park?

I think not as ships tie up there with supplies for the concrete plants on Commissioners..

Looks like it could use some umbrellas and seating like Sugar Beach

I'm glsd they park is opening up soon. This is a great destination in an area with a lot of natural-ish beauty as is (the Spit). The sidewalk treatments leading down here from Lakeshore are really nice, albeit a bit narrow for busy summer days.
