Had a closer look today; there was a small excavator moving around some earth , but it appears all to be related to the linear park rather than this one, unfortunately.

Damn. I’m looking forward to this one starting, with the garrison bridge open now. It will provide a high quality bike connection from the west end / LV to downtown, right into the soon to be extended Peter Street bike lanes.

This is like Hwy 400 to Sudbury... a piece at a time and each piece appreciated.

The missing link is the park itself however. Connecting the Cityplace Linear Park to the Garrison Creek bridge will create an extremely high quality cycling connection from Liberty Village and King West to southcore / near Union Station.

A new piece of the trail from the Garrison Creek bridge side.

Does anyone know the time horizon for completing the link underneath Bathurst and making this functional? I'm pumped for another bike route connection as well as a pedestrian connection from Fort York and Liberty Village all the way to the Dome. Toronto definitely deserves some appreciation for these initiatives.

It is apparently caught up in Rail Deck Park planning, unfortunately.

Yeah too bad it got wrapped up with something that will probably never get the go ahead for now

On the bright side they could call it Rail Deck Park phase 1 and get lots of media announcements and ribbon cutting by proceeding with it

Wow - that actually is a strategy that would likely work. If the politicians had thought of that, I'm sure it would have happened already.

I don't even want or need a park. Just start with the bike path link. Everything else can come later
Get it open...

I think there will certainly be no action on this park until the Bathurst Bridge work above it (starting very soon) is finished. Whether it will have to wait for the creation of Rail Deck park seems unlikely to me but ....

From today's announcement on the adjacent 150 Queen's Wharf Rd:
The abutting City-owned land is dedicated for future parkland and is currently
leased-out to Metrolinx for Construction Staging scheduled for completion by 2024

…so no link of the cycling trail between Fort York and North Linear Park? The City should plan for a temporary trail running along the edge of the Metrolinx leased site to link the trails on either side in the meantime, but as much as I don't like to be needlessly cynical, that'll never happen, and that sucks. Nevertheless I'll contact Joe Cressy's office about it.
I'll update if I get any response.
