The "Draft Study Design Report" for the 7/8 MUT crossing between Chandler and Avalon is available online.
They apparently considered an underpass at Borden Creek between Concordia Park and Chandler Park as an alternative, but this really wouldn't have fulfilled the purpose (it's right next to the Westmount crossing, I think they would be better to build an MUT from the Concordia Park trail to Ottawa St under the existing crossing; actually, they should plan to do that regardless in my opinion).
There are 3 potential alignments for the pedestrian bridge being considered:
I would prefer 1B or 2, the ramp orientation for 1 doesn't look very convenient.
Preliminary design alternatives are currently underway, with the first public consultation to be held in Fall 2017. The timeline suggests the Final ESR/Notice of Completion will be finished in Fall/Winter.
