It's a curious improvement. It doesn't really improve connectivity for anyone but those on the crescent who already had reasonably good access to the trail network from the bike lanes on Strasbourg.
It's not the most widespread improvement (it only helps those on the crescent), but it's more of a walking/all ages biking issue. Most parents would not let their children bike on Strasbourg, and certainly not make the left onto the crescent. And it cuts off about 3 minutes from the 7-10 minute walk to the park.
Like I said, the meaningful change is if you make this improvement in every neighbourhood for every amenity.
