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.

Coverage of a protest about the expansion of the Portlands gas plant by Radio Canada (Paula Fletcher and one other person interviewed in English) - couldn't find any coverage by English language outlets.

From Waterfront Toronto

“In total, there are around 20 levels of scaffolding, reaching 40 metres (140 ft) high.

To prepare the crane for its new life as a landmark, we started with some structural reinforcements and installed new cladding around its base. Now, crews are sandblasting and repainting the crane before the parks open. The scaffolding is in place to support the sandblasting equipment and to prevent paint flakes and sandblast media from getting in the air and ground.

Each level of scaffolding you see in this photo is about 2 metres tall.

The crews working on the Atlas Crane have specialized training for working at heights.

We are painting the crane white to match its original colour, and repainting heritage features like lettering and visible gauges in their original colour. The crane will also have new feature lighting installed”

Do they plan on getting rid of those I-beams they crudely bolted on the top?

...It would be a cruel fate for some who post here if all those turned out to be utility poles. >.<

Meh, scaffolding is for wimps, should have done the job with abseiling!

They could have simply used manlifts, much easier, faster and cheaper.

Can they go that high?

Motion passed by council calling for more density in Ookwemin Minising. Much to the delight of @Northern Light, I'm sure!
