In addition to the bridge extension, TRCA is also constructing a pedestrian underpass that will link the new West Don Lands community to the existing trail system along the Don River and the waterfront. <BR/><BR/>Both of these projects are scheduled to be complete at the end of July; however the Bala Underpass will not be open until the completion of Don River Park.<BR/><BR/>To facilitate the construction of the bridge work, the Don Valley Trail has been closed between Queen Street and Lakeshore Blvd. since April 2006. The trail is scheduled to re-open to cyclists and pedestrians at the ending of July 2007Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-79417781679150051662007-06-11T12:04:00.000-04:002007-06-11T12:04:00.000-04:00I hope you - and the Project Manager - are right b...I hope you - and the Project Manager - are right but these projects always take longer than estimated. Another example is the Cherry Beach cycle trail which remains blocked due to work being done "in April and May". Since the winter weather was far better than normal there is little excuse for them having missed the May deadline and I bet the re-opening will be LATE July, at the earliest.
