PI Update: Canals & Pedestrian Bridges

Sources tell us that work is to commence this week on turning this backwater area, formerly known as The Waterfront, into the springs of Disney Springs. The current Pleasure Island parking lot (partially pictured) will be the home to a new shopping area.  We're also told that construction will begin this week on pedestrian bridges at the intersection of Hotel Plaza Blvd at Downtown Disney Marketplace.  Existing pedestrian crosswalks will remain open during construction but there may be temporary pedestrian walkways leading up to the intersection.
