Toronto Garrison Crossing (was Fort York Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge) | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Pedelta

The works yard is beside the Stanley park extension area - right now the area is more or less Abandoned.

I imagine when the bridge opens it'll essentially just be a path and nothing else from Fort York to Wellington Street, with fencing blocking off the rest of the parks that will eventually surround it. But - it should be open.

Just having seen Waterlicht at the Bentway, I wandered over to see what I could of the span that's going to be lifted into place over the next few hours:

From a slightly different perspective.

And from the other side of the tracks. Not sure what these concrete channel things are for.
Lots of activity today removing debris and soil from the site.

Good aerial posted by Gregg Lintern on his Twitter a couple weeks back:

And some good ones from Mike Layton's Twitter, as well:

Hadn't quite appreciated how wide it'll be, and had been a bit worried about whether it'd be sufficient to adequately accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists, but this allays my concerns:

Excellent. Looks about as wide as the Humber Bay bridge, so should accommodate all* users quite nicely.

(*Except perhaps, the reckless speed cyclists who know no etiquette on the MGT.)
