Hmmm, is it tracking to be ready for opening in the first week of October?

Plans are not firm.

Last expectation was they would create a new tunnel under the railway line directly south of the current loop. That track would continue on the east side of Cherry using the Eastern, narrower, red-colour bridge.

South of Commissioners street I think it continues as mixed-traffic, crossing the Yellow-colour bridge, and terminates at a loop at Polson St. Most of the traffic was expected to be north of Commissioners but Waterfront Toronto has also been ramping up the proposed density so there might be some additional thought put into this piece.

They did a design review panel back on Jan 25 2022 which outlined the plans for the extended LRT and those same plans were shown again during their review panel on island density. The Street car will no longer loop on Cherry St across from the distillery, will go under the rail corridor towards lake shore, through the realigned cherry St, across the new cherry St north bridge (the red one) as the bridge on the eastern side was set aside specifically for an LRT, then it will turn east at Commissioners (not go over it) and then they will create a new loop between "New Munitions St" and "New Villiers Park St." One day, the hope is that they would extend it further east along commissioners and connect it to Leslie barns.

This is true but the link below rail berm on Cherry will be (long??) after the line along QQ to a new Commissioners loop as you describe. . A Report is coming to Executive Committee in October and, last I heard, there will be an October public meeting.
