Thorncliffe Park parents are asking the city to have the Overlea Bridge "reimagined" during the pandemic to ensure their children can physically distance when using its narrow sidewalks on their way to and from school. A neighbourhood flyer suggests if the city "reimagined" the bridge it could shut down a lane of traffic. Charles H. Hiscott Bridge, as it is officially called, is the only connection between Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park. "The Overlea Bridge is scheduled for major infrastructure improvements in the next five years, and the Overlea Boulevard and Don Mills Road intersection will be redesigned in 2021/2022." Some girls, pictured here after school, take their time walking home on the Overlea Bridge.
