What's supposed to happen to Villiers street where the Don is going to pass through? Is the street just going to be split into 2 dead-end segments? Or is there eventually going to be a bridge there?

The principle, western segment of what is now Villiers will turn south at the east end and connect back to Commissioners street.

The stranded eastern segment will still meet the Don Roadway and run east from there.

It's been fairly easy to $hit on waterfront toronto, the waterfront in general, and cheapening of various projects in Toronto. All that being said... this is something that we should all be incredibly proud of. Kudos to all involved. It looks amazing.

Weird question, but there seems to be a thin metal wall that holds in Canoe Cove. Will they end up removing that?

I think this was/is a temporary dam whose use has passed. I assume they will pull up all these 'pilings' in due course but not sure. They would look odd if left there and hardly conducive to canoes!
 
I'm excited too. I just hope this area becomes hip. It will undoubtably be a destination with the green spaces but I'd like to see the Hearn turned into a major art space or attraction and I'd like the feel of Villiers to be artistic and walkable. Kind of like our version of an 'Old Montreal'...but contemporary of course. Perhaps George Brown students will contribute to the area feeling youthful and student-friendly too.

Time will tell.

They should be planting cherry trees along Cherry Street. Sweet red ones.

I would prefer to see native cherry trees which is better for the birds and other wildlife.

Ontario's native cherry trees all flower white!
