Roncesvalle Visit April 15-2011

April 15, 2011: To a photo walking tour of Roncesvalle Ave from Dundas to Queen St to see what is new in the way of reconstruction of this road. East sidewalk built from Dundas to Howard Park now. New hydro poles installed on the west side to support new transformers and rewiring of the road. Gas line work is still not finish south of Howard Park and this is stopping the contractor to finish off this area. Noticed that the southbound lane has been cut up to replace the gas line and not sure if that section of the road was rebuilt last year or not. If so, it will have to be rebuilt again as well repaved. Bell crews are delaying the contractor from finishing off the new sidewalks. The contractor has about 30 men on site working in various locations to get the rest of the east sidewalk rebuilt. I would say that the east side sidewalk should be finish in mid May and this will allow the contractor to start rebuilding the northbound lane and build the new built out platforms for the streetcars. The contractor still has work on the west side like the east side to do and don't expect to see this finish until mid July. I will be surprise if the plan June date is meet.
