21 Don Roadway Walk-about - Leg #3 & #4: Transportation Services Yard

Leg #3 & Leg #4
Transportation Services Yard (a), and Transportation Services Yard (b).

This blog is about Leg #3 and Leg #4 of a preliminary site walk of the 21 Don Roadway site.

All 10 Legs of this walk-about have blog posts that go with them. You can see a list of them below, or at the link (or on the map - click on the drop-down menu icon, top-left on the map):

These 2 Legs of the walk-about (blue and sky-blue on the map) start at the Eastern Avenue entrance at 433 Eastern. I check out the western boundary to the Yards and then - to try to get an impression of the scale of the proposed development - I go up the ramp to the roof-top car park on top of the maintenance sheds just to the east of the north parking lot.

Looking west from the Transportation Services Yards north parking lot a the Enbridge Yard. Top-right of the photograph you can see the Easter Ave underpass under the rail line - marks the north extent of the First Gulf property.
