Any update on Simcoe Street?
QUESTION; Who owns the Walkway - from Union Station to Convention Centre to near CN Tower? It DOES need some tidying up as it has leaks in several places and the windows are in poor shape, and dirty too! Is it City property or ???
Does anyone know what "they" are now doing on/under Simcoe Street between Front and the new underpass? I initially thought they were bringing the trunk sewer up to Front Street but it looks too major for that - lots of rebar etc.
Clearly this new underpass is not now going to open "in July 2008" - has anyone seen a new date?
Thats what it looks like. Saw it while riding the GO the other day... looks like some sort of cut and cover is being done on the north side of the train tracks. The trench doesn't go directly up to Front, only partially.
In order to be replaced with PATH I hope? It's a very convenient way to get from the Intercontinental to Union after a Christmas party without trudging through the snowIt is private property that will potentially be torn down in the near future.
Concrete barrier installed to block access to unstart sidewalk indicating road will open before sidewalk is built this year. Sidewalk will be built in 2009

I think the 'concrete barrier' is actually the kerb and has been poured, as they sometimes do, at same time as the concrete road-bed, on which asphalt will go. I suspect they will simply pour the sidewalk inside that kerb, when they get to it. Why do you think this will be in 2009? It would be rather odd to have the road opened but not the sidewalk, but it IS Toronto!![]()

The road is currently scheduled to be opened in November 2008, and the sidewalk
connection in December 2008. There will be a new bike lane operating in each direction
that will connect to and from the waterfront.
