Looks like Port Union is done per a few photos shared by Sean Cooper in the Cycling in Toronto Facebook group.

Finally checked out **Port Union Road** in Scarborough, and wow—this project has been *over 20 years in the making*, with two long years of construction to get it across the finish line. Fun fact:...www.facebook.com

It helps greatly for getting from Adelaide/Richmond/King up to Shuter when you don't want to use Sherbourne. It's relatively easy to cross Queen and scoot up Trefann St, or go one block along Queen and up Sackville.
And if/when a MUP is added between Power and Sackville just north of Richmond then you end up with a pretty solid N <-> S route that can funnel Cabbagetown / East Enders coming from Dundas via River and Shuter.

This project notably added a car lane as well as separated cycle tracks. Imagine that in 2025 in the City of Toronto!Looks like Port Union is done per a few photos shared by Sean Cooper in the Cycling in Toronto Facebook group.

* Cross Post to dedicated project thread*
And we're back.
On the agenda for the first meeting of EYCC in the new year is an agreement with HONI (Hydro One) to move to design, and construction of the Greenway, with completion slated for Q4 2027.
This will add 4km of Multi-use path to the City's off-street cycling network.
The initial design will be path only with some signage at street crossings and crossing infrastructure (ie traffic lights, where required)
Benches/shade structures, drinking fountains or other add-ons are not part of the initial scope.
Hydro One will cover maintenance costs through 2031 after which the City must assume responsibility.

I see the stretch from Burnamthorpe to Rivercove is marked as a "licensed area"? What's that about?
While there is an existing path crossing Mimico Creek by Echo Valley Road, it's a bummer that you would need to use the sidewalk on Burnamthorpe to get to that path which is rather unpleasant. They should at least put in an MUP on Burnamthorpe from the Greenway trail to Echo Valley Road and put in a PXO.

Can you point to where you see that? In the original PDF attached there are no maps I can see, and I'm getting lost in Hydro One's website.

The maps were an attachment on the EYCC agenda, not within the report that I linked.
They can be found here:
But since I'm here, I'll bring them forward:
To answer @TwoWheelPoli 's eaerli question, I'm not sure (or I would have answered) but i suspect that the valley trail here (through Echo Valley Park) may have required a HONI license. I don't see any other reason for one.

What do you think the likelihood of Toronto or Hydro completing some kind of connection here at a later date? Seems pretty easy to build a trail to the existing bridge crossing and then use the existing trail to get back onto the hydro corridor.

A connection is contemplated as part of this project. The trail would run the full 4km of the maps shown.
