Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

[Toronto Rocks]

And after the RFP process... I for one look forward to seeing the designs from the 5 different Danish architecture firms that will be creating the new community for DREAM.

Do we have any idea on the timeline?

From today.
The equipment constructing the caison wall are gone. I suppose the wall must be complete in this area.

Looking towards downtown over the overburden near Commissioners and Cherry

Not sure where to post this quedtion..
But what is this construction site starting from the Don River then crossing thr rail lines heading up the Don Valley and ending up back at Canary Landing..
From west to east.



Is it Lower Don Lands/settlement management area related?
Or maybe Ontario Line?
Sorry if this is already being discussed elsewhere.

Another fun one from the Rocky twitter account. Worth clicking through to see the short drone video – they've posted a few of these lately which really show off the current state of things.

Photos taken 6 February. It feels like it is all coming together when you are actually there.

Wondering if the work on the lower Don by corktown commons will see the west side of the Don properly dredged. They’ve currently blocked it off fully, but for a good chunk of the year it was always pretty sandy. Anyone know if that was intentional?

They are constructing the Sediment and Debris Area in the area just north of Lake Shore (shown in your photos). They describe this part of the project as: "Sediment and debris need to be removed regularly from the Don River to keep water flowing safely through the river valley, reduce the impact of flooding and maintain safe navigation in the inner harbour. Currently, Ports Toronto dredges mud, silt and larger debris from the Keating Channel. To allow water to flow under the Lake Shore Bridge during a major flood, we need to widen and deepen the Don River upstream of this bridge. This will slow down the water, releasing more sand and silt onto the river bed. To address this, we are moving dredging operations and debris management north of Lake Shore."

Wow! No more original Cherry Street. I cycled down there hundreds of times. No more.
