Sounds nice. Maybe when I’m sitting beneath the trees, they’ll block out the sight of some of those damn condo towers that have spring up everywhere in the area.
I think that I shall never see
A condo lovely as a tree.

Nice! As the article says, it will replace Domtar park which was lost to condo development recently. However, I don’t think it will have quite the same sense of urban respite as Domtar had. That wee park was unknown to many, even though it was right there in full view. The fact that it had a low fence around it with only a couple of entry points kept people from casually drifting through. Many people likely thought it was not open to the public.
The new space seems much more open, so it will have many more people passing through. That’s great from an “access” point of view but bad for anyone seeking a quiet respite.
But I love the foot bridge!
