I'm a frequent user (by foot) and I'm happy with even the current width, so 3m is good for me. But I mostly use the trail outside peak hours so I rarely see heavy traffic on the trail.
I'm not saying they aren't going to widen it slightly, but several sections are already 3 meters, and still feel quite narrow.
You should try using it during busy times, it's sometimes difficult to make any progress while biking, and it's only going to get worse, usage is growing quite strongly.
I think the areas I most use (from Ottawa to Gage) are 2.4m. Definitely not wide.
But I do prefer to stick with the quiet times on the trail.
