Trails
Er, yes. Tongue

I couldn’t quite tell from the photo what they’d drawn. I hope it at least was something filthy.

Response for which, sorry? There are a few topics of note that this could apply to.

Post above, the MUT on the left of King St between Conestoga and Northfield if you’re heading out of town.

What needs to be negotiated? Would the trail not have been in the same right of way as the former sidewalk?

I think everything got wider here, when they built the LRT. So maybe it is expropriation related.

Wouldn't it have something to do with the undeveloped parcel between the mall itself and the gas station by Northfield? If they aren't yet building, they'd probably prefer to avoid the costs associated with that trail (e.g. maintaining it), so the city just shrugs and says no worries.

Well then they’d be lying with what they publicly responded to me with then

It's weird that they'd close the trail here, when a few blocks further down King St at Weber they have no problem slapping a "Shared Trail" sign on a regular narrow sidewalk and calling it a MUT... why wouldn't they just do that here too? (Not saying it's the best idea, just that the city has already shown elsewhere that they aren't too concerned with the width of a shared-use path).

That shared-use path sign is ridiculous given that it's been there far longer than most of the signs on ACTUAL MUTs.

This is a BS closure, right? You can just ride right around the sign, and never encounter any actual reason for it to be closed?

IIRC, the part near Northfield is still unfinished.

I hadn't noticed in other photos until I was there in person yesterday that the asphalt doesn't quite come to the top of the curb.

Is this a base layer of or the final layer asphalt?

If so are they going to do a top coat this year or do like they do with the roads and come back next year to put the final coat on?

Central promenade:
Does anyone know why a gap was left in the curbing between PI and Clay and Glass (top photo, middle left)
