If you are travelling southbound on Belmont to go westbound on the trail it makes for a really awkward turn from the road to the trail and the desire line from the sidewalk to the trail is right over fresh sod:
Looking west along the trail at Belmont:
At least the part they did pave lines up with the new refuge island.
By the way Belmont should open up any day now. All that looks left to be done is sodding.
Interestingly, it looks like all the driveways between Highland and Victoria were redone in concrete instead of asphalt.
Also, I was hoping GRT was going to take advantage of the work so re-space the stops between that stretch, but the bus pads are back where they were before (Victoria to Edgewood (150m), Edgewood to Metzloff (150m), Metzloff to Sobey's plaza (Highland) (140m).
That's the case for all road reconstructions these days, is it not?
That was the case on all the streets in my neighbourhood. I wonder what the reasoning is.
So if they fixed the trail on one side, how the hell did they fail to connect the trail on the other side?!
