How about some goodish news for once?
The workers were packing down the path under Parry Ave yesterday in preparation for paving, so we might actually get that section opened sooner rather than later. I couldn't tell if they were doing the whole section from Perry to Scandrett, or just under Parry, but either way it will sure be nice to be riding under the road again. That roundabout up top is probably the most dangerous bit of all the detours. For those of you keeping track, it's been closed for 14 months now, with the initial emails saying it would be reopened in Nov 2011.

And on the South St path, they're making some very fast progress on the new section. Rollers were out packing down that down this morning as well, dare I say it might be opened before the end of the year?

I think they need to do a bunch of works right where the current detour is running, which is why the new path seems to be going in at a decent pace.
