I unfortunately must share some bad news about the work on the Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge and Tunnel.
Since January 2024, there have been unexpected challenges with the tunnel reconstruction related to securing specific paving materials and adjusting to recent design standards by Toronto Hydro. These issues are pushing the estimated completion of the tunnel and bridge to the end of 2024.
There has been some good news to report: progress has been made on the bridge's north side, with the contractor completing the landing slab and stairs that connect the bridge with the tunnel. Additionally, the contractor is preparing to pour the final layer of concrete on the bridge deck this summer.
Looking ahead, the work zone will shift to the south side of Bloor Street East for the tunnel reconstruction's second stage. This transition will maintain one lane for motor vehicles and cyclists in each direction, with continued access for pedestrians and emergency services. Additionally, Sherbourne Station will remain accessible throughout construction, minimizing disruptions for commuters and residents.

In 2024, our collective efforts to address encampments at the City led to meaningful progress in Ward 13, with resolutions to the encampments in Allan Gardens and Moss Park. However, as we step into 2025, encampment challenges persist in Trinity Square and St James Park.
There has been 24/7 news discussion about the United States’s threats to impose widespread tariffs on Canadian goods, as well as retaliatory measures across the nation in response.
With the colder weather, I hope you and your family have been able to find joy with activities like sledding and skating that are only possible this time of year. There are many opportunities across the city for drop-in ice skating, such as in Regent Park and in Nathan Phillips Square. There are always plenty of people learning for the first time, so If you’ve never skated before, you’ll be in good company! So I encourage you to get out and hit the ice this February while the weather cooperates.
