Avalon Place Highway 7/8 Multi-Use Trail Crossing

[cherrypark]

I'm trying to picture if this would change my bike to work route or not. Right now I head into town from Doon South on the Homer Watson MUT, turn right onto Ottawa, then use the beg button to cross onto Kehl/Heiman/Mill to pick up the Iron Horse to Waterloo (and the reverse to head home). Fortunately the only thing I need to cross near that roundabout is the 8 east on ramp.

Regardless of whether or not this changes my route, I'll be happy when it's here.

I ride the opposite of this from Cherry Park area down to Huron Park. I think with the bridge there it will make more sense for me to use it and just live with the Strasburg bike lanes. Eliminating the need to use the Homer Watson roundabout(s) and not having to get left on Block Line to Strasburg are good enough reasons to switch I think.

Now if they could do a little more with the Strasburg lanes when they (must be?) improving it from the new bridge to Ottawa by the bus depot, that would be even better.
