However, it wasn’t clear exactly what was the route of the trail before — that is, exactly which bit of pavement in the Waterloo Town Square parking lot was the trail? So the question is what sort of reinstatement of the already-sort-of-existing trail there will be.
It can't be an extension because no one would ever approve a trail that is right on top of railway tracks.
But that didn't stop them from paving the area between those buildings on King St. Which despite not *wink* being a trail *nudge* is quite excellent.
Well, I don’t know for sure what the space between the buildings is now, but until last winter it was definitely part of the Laurel trail, shown as such on City maps and snow cleared by the City.
The new part can’t be an extension because the trail already ran (approximately) there. That’s why I refer to “reinstatement”. But yeah, I wonder if the wink-wink is being continued along there. But if so, why not have the trail on the north side of the tracks from Erb/Caroline to where the wink-wink begins?
