I don't understand their logic sometimes for these bike posts. I figured they would focus on durability and use a consistent design but that doesn't seem the case in many regards. Like a park on Shuter, right near River, was rebuilt over the last year, they changed the name as well but I don't remember the new name atm.
They installed these...

In recognition of Louis March’s decades-long commitment to public safety, equity and youth development Shuter-Sumach Parkette was renamed to Louis March Park on July 20, 2025. The neighborhood around the park was where Louis did some of his most impactful work, supporting the most vulnerable communities in Toronto and his deep commitment to ending gun violence.

Last stretch of Harbord from Grace to Ossington is done - took some images here: https://panoramax.openstreetmap.fr/...4/0.00/30;m19.57/43.6600013/-79.4175336;vd;bs

They were installed a few years ago when the BIA completely redid the sidewalks along Bloor. They were flimsy from day one and look like they could easily be pulled from the ground today.

Does anyone know why they planted some islands along Harbord, while others they paved over?

They planted some so Parks could park their trucks in them instead of on tree roots.

Lake Shore Boulevard East Trail Connections
The reconstructed Lake Shore Boulevard East, between the Don River Bridge and Carlaw Avenue, will have multi-use trails on both the north and south sides. At Carlaw Avenue, these trails will connect to the existing trails continuing east along Lake Shore Boulevard East, towards Woodbine Beach and beyond. At Don Roadway, they will connect to the new trail recently opened along Don Roadway, connecting south to Commissioners Street, west to Cherry Street, and back north to Lake Shore Boulevard East. These trails connections are shown in Attachment 1.The remaining multi-use trail gap along Lake Shore Boulevard East, between the Don River Bridge and Cherry Street, will remain closed following completion of this project. Waterfront Toronto has been directed to implement a communications/signage plan to advise people cycling that the trails do not continue beyond the west end of the bridge and how to navigate the broader area. New multi-use trails will be constructed west of the bridge as part of the Gardiner Section 5 and Lake Shore Boulevard East Reconfiguration project, expected to be completed in 2030. Staff are exploring opportunities to construct a temporary multi-use trail in 2026 to re-establish this connection in the interim and will report back to City Council with further details, as required.

Don't know for sure but maybe is it has to do with providing daylighting at intersections while keeping sight lines from being obscured where there will be turning traffic, and along with that not putting vegetation in the turning path of wide-radius vehicles. My gut says at Grace we see vegetation on the east side because no cars turn right from Harbord since Grace is one-way southbound, but on the west side it's filled in with concrete because it can provide somewhere for a Bike Share van to park while it services the docking station

Not a fan of how Winona to Alameda will see the bike lane placed in the door zone, as well as that short Oakwood to Glenora stretch. Other than that, it's certainly an improvement over the current conditions including extending the bikeway northwest from Winona to Dufferin.
I also saw on the cycling public consultation page something regarding Brimorton, but unless my eyes deceive me, I'm not seeing that many improvements proposed. No public meeting or presentation slides are available, but there is a note to submit your comments by e-mail by Sunday, December 7. I sent this to Toronto East Cyclists to see what they can read from this.

A few minor changes to turning radii, adding bump outs and such at various side street intersections.
The main change covers only 156m of the route, but adds the low jersey barrier for that portion.

Working full out, I see! I assume there is now zero chance of paving until it warms up again next year. This really has been a totally mis-managed project.
