UrbanToronto Forum contributor bowen, aka @bryanmbowen on Twitter, is Bryan Bowen IRL, on the City of Toronto's Waterfront Secretariat where he is heading up the restoration of the Canada Malting Company silos as part of the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan. A new photo of Bryan's posted to our Bathurst Quay Revitalization thread is, as he says, "Not a view you see everyday!"
There's no reason to rewrite his continuing description of the current work at the site, so…
"This is removal in progress of the overhead equipment and bridges currently located between the two malting silos. Much of this unsalvageable, though per our Conservation Plan, the large cylinders (grain dust storage bins) will be repaired and re-installed next year with new mounting brackets. This work, combined with the upcoming demolition at grade of the block wall that connects the two silos, is what allows us to open up a 5-metre wide pedestrian 'portal' linking Portland Slip and the new silo plaza and park."
It all makes for a fascinating look at ongoing work on this historic piece of Toronto's waterfront. If you'd like to see more of the post with its two renderings of what's to come at ground level here, click this link!
