Where Bloor Street passes over Rosedale Valley Road, there are two bridges instead of one. There’s one bridge for the road, and another for the subway. I guess, from a Rosedale Valley point of view, it’s a supraway seeing as the trains pass overhead. In warmer weather, the footings are obscured by trees and foliage, and all the graffiti on the concrete that rises up either side of the valley is hidden from view. The trees provides good cover for the many homeless people who live underneath the bridges. In November, I posted a view from above which shows the subway bridge spanning the valley.
In the winter, the bridges lose their cover. It’s easier to see the graffiti, and it’s safer and more accessible. But even in winter, people live under the bridges. I was shooting in -16˚C and there were a couple homeless men lying in sleeping bags.
