That's true, though the part of Lower Sherbourne between Front and the berm is mostly either park or parking lot, so I didn't really think the question was about that stretch.

They are paving Wellington from Church to Yonge today - will they rip it up again next week? The jury is out on that!
They have also removed the temporary tall light fixtures on Wellington from Church to Yonge and will, I assume, soon be installing the permanent LED ones.
They have removed the last of the old streetlight poles on the north side of Wellington from Yonge to York. They are (slowly) replacing them with new poles and will then, I assume add the LED light fixtures - as on south side.
As I noted a few weeks ago, the streetlight and TTC poles on York from Wellington to Yonge appear to be the older models and I am betting that when they come to string the new TTC overhead, they will realise these poles also need to be replaced.

Nope.

We don't have a hostel or emergency shelter forum unless it's important we start a thread for it.

I would suggest the neighbourhood forum - St. Lawrence would be the most apt spot.

Though I have some difficulty believing anything the TTC says, it appears from their website that the 503 streetcar will return to Wellington in July. They certainly have started work on the overhead so maybe!!
503 Kingston Road is suspended until further notice due to construction in the downtown core. Service will return at the end of July. We have extended the 505 Dundas to Bingham Loop in order to maintain service on Kingston Road. (From https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/Streetcar-Service-Changes)

ADELAIDE ST INFO.
A majority of the TTC track removals were completed on Adelaide Street from York Street to Victoria Street. The remaining removals will be completed by the end of June.
The watermain work - which ends at Victoria - is just about finished. I assume they will soon start moving the Adelaide bike track to the north side of the street from Victoria to Parliament.
June 2023: Construction Update
Starting the week of June 26, road resurfacing on Adelaide Street from Victoria Street to Church Street will begin. During this time, our contractor will repave the road surface and update pedestrian crossings with accessible tactile plates. Vehicle traffic will be reduced to one eastbound lane. Access to driveways and laneways will be maintained. The road resurfacing work is expected to last two weeks.A majority of the TTC track removals were completed on Adelaide Street from York Street to Victoria Street.

Don’t know if this is too far west for St. Lawrence. But Toronto Street is thriving! OEB is opening up and there are several patios going in to service the workers at Google. Photos taken 1 July.

Yes good to see more life on Toronto Street but the Carisma patio (Court & Toronto) has been a feature for a couple of years. Of course, there are plans to develop the Adelaide/Toronto east side corner so god knows what that will do to the street! (SEE: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...258-6m-80s-goband-investment-svn.34481/page-5 )

Regarding Wellington, it is looking good! Patios make all the difference. Trees will look great in a couple years. 1 July.

Okay, how long can they drag this out? They removed the spare utility pole. Just remove this pile of blocks. 1 more week of work left?
Anything wrong with this shot?
Okay maybe two more weeks of work?

Yes, they seem very loathe to tidy things up and remove the last of their 'junk'. Personally, I am not unhappy to see the traffic lights @ Scott not yet working - they are, in my opinion, totally useless and a real blemish on this project. If I could I would remove them!
I noted yesterday that the TTC has started getting the block of Wellington west of Yonge ready for streetcar overhead - in theory it should be easy to do as it's a short straight stretch but it IS the TTC and I am betting that when they reach York they will decide they need to install new poles from Wellington to King.
EDIT: I noticed today that 'they' have painted utility locates on sidewalk from Yonge to about Leader Lane - no doubt it will all be torn up again soon!
