You really are very impatient! : -> I assume the barge will be (really) removed next week.

 

[mburrrrr]

I’m sure the barge is still there. Couldn’t make it to Eastern. This was the turnaround point on my dog walk today.

The old overhead to under ground tower by the river just to the left outside of this picture was still there. I heard from the Sherbourne TS work crew that one of two new under ground feeds are powered. They should be clear to take the down the remaining towers from the Don to Sherbourne in the next few months after the second feeder is powered.

Boat/crane/jet ski/ATV/large boulder and Forma cladding storage. Okay, maybe Forma storage is in the adjacent lot.

Lots of images today! The first is of the 3CC lot where the Gehry prototype is but now there is a fence going up. Separate? Also the park on the south side of Lemon is getting sculpted in an interesting way and will have great views of the skyline. The promenade and Allée on the south side of Commissioners is very clear now as is the large lawn on the west side of the Don on the same street. Taken 10 December.

Part 5: The Don Roadway embankment is very obvious now. And another very nice shot of the skyline is now appearing where the lawn is on the west side of the riverbed.

Does anyone know if those wooden beams will be white tipped so the smoke stack blends in with them?

 

[UrbanAffair]

What are those wooden beams for?

I am once again asking for all city departments to roll up into Waterfront Toronto, which is the only competent department in the city. Not just competent, but very high performing. Outstanding transparency, communication, foresight, execution.. just awesome

What are all those wooden pillars near the destination park?

What are all those wooden pillars near the destination park?

They are for lighting, art, play structures and a reference to the wooden poles on Toronto’s streets!

...a subtle nod that you are indeed still in Toronto -- like taking a gentle tap on the back of the head with a sledge lol

Otherwise there'd be no way of knowing it's part of Toronto... at least until the LRT is funded and you can watch those little red zippy things roam free around the dedicated ROW here.
