The newly carved 2-kilometre stretch from Cariboo to the edge of Roncesvalles had its official opening Friday, October 30. On visual offer: towering steel sculptures and wildlife sanctuary. In the steel grey of twilight, the former wasteland on an abandoned rail line takes on a cool industrial-strength glow.

1. Graffiti art long hidden from all except GO train passengers blows new life into the scenery.
2,3. From abandoned wasteland to desirable district – 19th-century industrial slowly gives way to green and condo bloom.
4. John Dickson’s Frontier sculptures create a flickering effect.
5. Painted bollards add a whimsical touch.
6. At the Wallace Street entrance, a place to catch the breath of passing locomotives and contemplate the flow of time.
7. Wayfinding made edgy on rusted steel.
8. Railpath as transport hub: bike posts steps from GO station at Bloor.
