That's what happens when vital SOGR work is constantly postponed. Will PortsToronto compensate the commercial places on 'lower Cherry' who now have a much longer drive to/from work? Will they explain to cruise ship passengers why it will take them so long to get downtown? Of course they won't.

The timing of this malfunction is perfect! Just at the start of a really busy season and in the middle of negotiations about Ports Toronto real value!

You want to see these covered in graffiti???

I want one plain, and one graffiti’d

comes from my time collecting Dunny/Munny

...having concrete topiary designated for tagging isn't a bad idea here. As long as it's balanced with enforcing other structures for not tagging? I dunno...taggers gonna tag anyhow. /sigh

I wonder if purposely building those near the water and away from the playground will help migrate the markers and paint pens

That bridge is such a disaster. Seems like it's been under repair for decades. A perpetual fixer-upper that's never fixed. I wonder how long and how expensive it would have been to just tear it out and start from scratch with a totally new modern design that would open for ship traffic but use technology from this millennium. I'm trying to think of any other singular part of Toronto infrastructure (don't say Gardiner) that is forever broken and under repair. This bridge is nuts.

The problem is NOT that it has 'been under repair for decades" . It is that it HASN'T!

From what I can tell the underlying problem is PortsToronto. They seem to have no purpose but to get in the way. When the cruise ship terminal was built they apparently kept stalling and ground it down to the unusable wreck that it is today. Turn the land over to Canada Lands.

All hands on deck today…

Bulrushes looking healthy.

‘Weed’ clearing…

I guess one person’s weed is another’s free garden plant.

^ What an astonishing urban miracle... it's like watching xmas presents slowly being unwrapped (courtesy of our fabulous UT lensers).

A gift to this city that keeps on giving.

Too schmaltzy?

"Concrete topiary for tagging" isn't a bad idea for somewhere in the city. Could be fun to see it evolve over time.

From the weekend walking along Commissioners.

Land, Sea & Air.

Paint is already chipping really bad or they didn't remover the film well at all.

For all the Canon shooters in this group....

Canon FINALLY released the long awaited RF 35mm f1.4 L lens.
