One annoyance with the Pasqua path is how it joins Parliament. When you approach from the south, it is awkward to join the path. You either take the right ramp and transition to an arc around the curve, or shoot for the narrow gap at the left ramp. Yet another spot where an unnecessary square curb between 2 ramps gets in the way of the natural cycling trajectory.
To extend the path further north following Pasqua they'll just need to extend the box culvert near the old Dutch Growers location. They did the same thing when they widened Dewdney a few years ago.
A few times I've contacted the city for various issues in that area they've let slip details of their plan, which is otherwise some sort of state secret. They've mentioned extending the south storm channel pathway to the NW. Presumably to Hill or Pasqua.
If they followed the storm channel past Pasqua behind the ball diamonds, they could have it meet up with Regina Ave at the Lewvan then proceed north to meet up with the Devonian path by adding a bridge over Wascana Creek. Though a grade leve path crossing at Lewvan / Regina is just asking for trouble, due to drivers habitually blowing red lights when turning right.
The problem is all that stuff costs money, and I figure cycling infrastructure is first on the chopping block whenever its time to balance a budget.
