LFG!

Ferguson Ave is closed at this project between Cannon and Kelly for the next 3 years.

Closure permit says until 2028, so 2 years. Seems like an absurdly long time though, and if bikes can't get through then there's almost no good north/south routes between Bay and Victoria.

I... Don't love that. Will be in contact with Ward 2 office to confirm and clarify whether there is a detour or provision for cyclists.

Oops, my bad. Still adjusting. Thank you.

I bike through here all the time. It's pretty easy to detour by cutting through Beasley Park and taking either Mary St (northbound) or Elgin St (northbound and southbound). FWIW I actually prefer biking on those roads becasue they're quiet side streets and they're not paved with irritating loose bricks like Ferguson is. Also, the Mary St footbridge is a more pleasant way to cross the train tracks than the Ferguson bridge.

This forum lists the project at 33 storeys but the City's Building Permit report for December says 34!

I believe you mean "pole" mister - unless they're running a poll for how long this will take

From today. Not hard for pedestrians or cyclists to get around the road closure.
