Work continues on the Port Lands redevelopment with more buildings being demolished to make way for the new mouth of the Don River.

below: Don Roadway looking north. The southern part is now closed (south of Lakeshore Blvd)
below: Villiers Street at the Don Roadway. A couple of old buildings remain on Villiers but many structures between Villiers and the Keating Channel are now gone, especially at the east end of the channel near the present mouth of the Don River.
below: Commissioners Street, looking east. Everything in that block, on the south side, has been levelled – the blue and white building is on the other side of the Don Roadway.

below: T’nT grocery store is now closed. The red sign by the door advertises Chinese New Year specials.
below: The same boat, the NACC Argonaut, but from the south, from Polson Street. NACC = Nova Algoma Cement Carriers. She was built in Japan in 2003 and converted into a cement carrier in 2017. The next year she entered service on the Great Lakes.
below: As you can see more clearly here, the Argonaut was actually parked beside the Lafarge facility. T’nT is behind the Lafarge Cement round towers (building on the left).

below: There are quite a few old railway crossing signs in the Port Lands for tracks that have been torn up or long unused. I am surprised that no one has stolen them.
below: Boats of a different kind – RCYC (Royal Canadian Yacht Club) on Cherry Street.
below: Cherry Beach
No construction affects the beach but these days, people are keeping their distance. Since taking these pictures the beach may have been closed, I’m not sure. The parking lot will be closed for sure.
below: Unwin Street, looking east towards the old Hearn Generating Station
below: Another Port Lands view from above. North of the Gardiner is the construction site for the rebuilding of the Gardiner. To the south is the Port Lands with the tall smokestack/chimney of the Hearn. The white building with the two chimneys on the far left is the Portlands Energy Centre, a natural gas powered electricity generating station.
