Yes their new front lobby also took MONTHS - looks better but I dread to think what it must have cost them!

SEE: Hard to believe it has been there for 8 years already (or hard to believe it has not always been there?). The doggies DO need a touch up, it seems they will take them off to the kennel for upkeep rather than doing it on site??

Locates just marked out.
Hard to believe Scott St is being worked on AGAIN and hard to believe they are finally “finishing” the bypass.

I assume it is THIS project - running late - - which is mostly underground and is a continuation of the far larger project last year.Locates just marked out.

A report to next week's meeting of the Toronto Public Library Board confirms what we've all known here for a while, that the intent is relocate the St. Lawrence Branch to the heritage building at the S/W corner of Parliament and Queen.
The report was made, because the sale closed last week on November 21st, 2025.

Yes, huge surprise!! Of course, they are not saying anything about the need they will have for branch somewhere in the "St Lawrence Neighbourhood". I am all in favour of this larger District Library but looking at their map of branches, see below, if they close the current branch they will be very "library-poor' in this whole area of the City.
The new location is the BLACK DOT, the current Front Street branch is Xed out.

The wooden fencing is all gone and they were caulking the joints on Friday. This VERY slow project seems to be over, finally!

Oof yeah, The area is getting pretty dense with all the new condos in the area, so losing the Front street location is going to leave a pretty big gap. Sounds like it'll still be a couple of years away - hopefully they have an alternate plan for a library int he St. Lawrence neighbourhood.

If they have plans they are not public - I fear they are assuming that the new Branch will replace the current one!

Maybe they have long term plans to put one in Quayside or Ookwemin?

I got this info forwarded by a neighbour today:
"The construction contract [ for Market Lane Park] has now been awarded, and work has begun on the project. This is contract administration work to prepare for active construction in the park. The construction schedule will be provided soon with respect to the mobilization date in the park. See https://www.toronto.ca/city-governm...-redevelopment/market-lane-park-improvements/
The David Crombie website is being updated now. The construction contract has been awarded, and work has begun on the project. This is contract administration work to prepare for active construction in the park, as well as the joint project of work on the cycle track and intersection improvements. The construction schedule will be provided soon with respect to the mobilization date in the park and on The Esplanade."
I had hoped we might actually see some ACTION this year on one or both of these VERY slow-moving projects but .....
