John Tory Island? (And what is wrong wit the present name or is this just too good an opportunity to self-congratulate each other for a job well done?)

You are too cynical (he said, as confirmed cynic!) More likely an indigenous name which is why the motion states "Naming of the Island and other civic assets in the community is an opportunity to advance aspects of the City’s Reconciliation Action Plan,"

What will the bridge crossing Munition Street looks like?
Click to expand...
Someone can correct me and/or fill in the blanks, but the Munition Street crossing is not part of the current works. In many renderings it's the same as the rest of the new bridges, though.

The issue is that there is nowhere good to connect it to on the other side yet, and major reconstruction of the Gardiner is planned in that area so there's really no point in building a bridge that won't be usable for years and may not even be needed.
