Did you hear anything more about the contaminated soil at David Crombie? I'd love to know what I accidently inhaled.

Who said there was contaminated soil??? Not that it's not possible as there were rail tracks and all kinds of industry there but I have never hear of any.

So at Power and Adelaide the bike lanes were not installed, however it looks like the curbs of the sidewalk were constructed in such a way that fits within the plan for future protected (ish) intersection here.

See the angle/shape of the curb in the second photo and the cutout of the curb in the first photo match the plan for the bike lanes:

Yes, BUT the crossing stripes are in the wrong locations!!! They should be in line with the 'tactile strips"!

As of the 2025 City Budget, the bridge was funded for construction in 2027 (1 year project).

Digging around.......the project appears to be under consideration for advancement to the 2026 budget year. No guarantees!

There's a reason I don't hand out guarantees in budget season..... ... so much horse-trading.

The construction was supposed to start in the fall (after eons of delays); but I can't find a tender awarded for construction here........

May need to follow up with the project lead for an updated timeframe.

Speaking of construction tenders, I wonder when the City of Toronto plans to issue one for the Bermondsey to Eglinton stretch of The Meadoway? If work is expected to start this year, they would need to get on this ASAP.

Yes, it seems they just did the curbs, not change any road markings. I think there will be traffic lights going in here? So maybe they will do the rest of the work then.

I walked to the area today and there are now(lots of) traffic light poles at BOTH Adelaide and Richmond. No lights yet but I assume the poles will soon be in use. (Soon for the City usually means 'within 6 months').

Yup, you can see them in the photos I took of all the freshly redone curbs at the all the corners of the Power and Richmond intersection.
