Not now and I doubt ever.in this diagram it looks like the Cherry streetcar travels north of King to Queen (along Sumach). is this accurate?

There was a VERY brief discussion of this link to Queen several years ago. It was quickly rejected as no room for curves @ Queen. If nothing else. The map that seems to have confused @AMOR is not really a streetcar track map of that area anyway.Anything is always possible, but not much room for streetcar tracks in here, even if you don't allow anything else:

Really nothing to see, Cherry from Commissioners to POLSON (Correction!) is gone and they are starting to excavate the underlying soil/fill. It looks exactly like one might imagine! The bike track is, of course, now on west side of the new Cherry, I assume it will (permanently) return to the east side where it does now ( south of Villiers). Of course, the City finished working on the west side and will soon start fixing the east side of the bascule lift bridge so god knows what will happen with cyclists & pedestrians this summer.Wanna see some more torn up Cherry Street if anyone is down there.
I wish they'd tear up all the streets to be honest and just replace them with grass.
But this is a good start.
Having recently patronized Cherry Street Bar-B-Que, I suspect you mean south of Commissioners is gone. The Villers to Commissioners section is still an active roadway.Really nothing to see, Cherry from Commissioners to Villiers is gone and they are starting to excavate the underlying soil/fill.

The old Cherry St is a memory now, but the earth shows where the equipment has being using the old road area.Really nothing to see, Cherry from Commissioners to POLSON (Correction!) is gone and they are starting to excavate the underlying soil/fill.

I agree it would be great but I would not hold my breath for this footbridge!Some of the plans actually show a pedestrian bridge connecting the Promontory Park to somewhere around the Parliament slip. That would make it really convenient for people living in St. Lawrence and QQE to get there, rather than going around to Cherry St.
That would certainly make the waterfront more cohesive from a pedestrian point of view. Even if it's not currently in the plans I would hope to see it come soon after everything is complete over there.Some of the plans actually show a pedestrian bridge connecting the Promontory Park to somewhere around the Parliament slip.
