RE: Trails - bpoland - 01-27-2020
Alright so "end of next week" was last friday and it was still closed this morning. Hopefully it will be open soon?
RE: Trails - bpoland - 01-30-2020
The Iron Horse Trail bridge by Victoria Park is open! There had been a sign at West Ave. saying the bridge was closed which was gone this morning, so I decided to go down and see. It was a bit icy but so nice to have that link back

RE: Trails - tomh009 - 03-03-2020
I will miss the wooden planks on the old bridge, though.
RE: Trails - robdrimmie - 03-03-2020
Yeah, I'll confess to deriving a non-trivial amount of joy from zipping across the wooden plank bridges (mostly due to the glorious racket) on my bike on previous commutes.
RE: Trails - clasher - 03-03-2020
It'll be a lot harder to set this bridge deck on fire though.

I just saw that the City of Waterloo is planning to extend Forwell Trail from King to Weber in 2021. That will close the biggest gap in the Waterloop.

Awesome! We’ve been waiting for this for years.
RE: Trails - clasher - 03-04-2020
I've been riding through the Waterloo Inn parking lot for years, nice to see they're making a trail.
RE: Trails - Acitta - 03-19-2020
I was cycling along the Schneider Creek Greenway from Manitou and I saw this:
RE: Trails - KevinL - 03-20-2020
Preliminary work for extending Bleams to Wilson?

RE: Trails - timio - 03-20-2020
It's part of the River Road extension.

RE: Trails - Jonny - 04-09-2020
I got bored today in quarantine so I decided to try out a protected intersection design at Courtland and Stirling. Kept all the existing lanes and added in a two-way trail connection within the existing curbs just by reducing the lane widths down to 3.3m (the recommended width in the Region's design guidelines). Thoughts?
