They're indicative of a real positive development in this community. Not too long ago, the city would have just pointed to the Canal MUP and said there's all the cycling infrastructure you need... "but how do you get on to the path from here?" ... <shrug> "And there's no money for it anyway..."

Now they seem to be really looking for the seams and gaps, and filling them in one by one. Incrementalism like this takes forever to stitch them all together, but at least in ten years, the network will be something to be proud of.
Still no good connection between Main and O'Connor cycle tracks. Rebuilt Hawthorne will only have bike lane on one side and you have to squeeze between traffic and parked cars going back. Makes entire route unsafe.

Edit: Looks like there is an alternative Eastbound route via quieter Graham Avenue. Okay then. Makes it a complicated afterthought as usual though.
