Wow! Those look amazing! Nice to see some development on this project.

So instead of mowing the grass every few weeks it will be every few months? Even in the rendering the plants look fairly short, only about knee high. Would be nice if some trees were allowed in spots but I guess under wires we're a bit limited. Maybe wooden shade points here and there. Either way new bridges and crossing points make this a real deal addition to the cycling network. And a commuter benefit.

Councillor Crawford has a member motion to the next Council meeting to approve funding $100,000 through the Garden Club of Toronto to enhance a portion of the Meadoway just off Pharmacy Avenue.

Yes. In Toronto we need to play "Connect the dots" We have so many trail systems that come close to meeting and then do not. We need to fill in the gaps!

Some photos of the current status of section 5 phase I work. Wonder when work is resuming. With all the equipment such as a truck still on site I’m guessing the pause is not that long.
