As the city filed it

Recent emergency repairs to the Cherry Street Ship Channel bridge, have severely restricted access to Cherry Beach and Unwin Avenue for several weeks. This has placed significant strain on the existing, one lane, Bailey Bridge on Unwin Avenue and impacted many of the businesses in the Port Lands including Film and industrial uses as well as access to Cherry Beach. This has highlighted the need to modernize the infrastructure in the Port Lands to meet the needs that are only expected to grow as we continue to develop new residential, commercial and industrial uses.
