There is no need to have a fourth MUT on the South side of the tracks (behind businesses), because the MUT on the North side of Fairway would cover those movements.
I think about this every time I’m in that area. It’s comlletely insane to me that roads like Fairway and 24 in Cambridge have no provision for cycling at all. There’s a huge grassy swath there just ripe for it. I don’t get it.
OK, thanks, I get what you’re saying. Personally I would prefer an MUT immediately south of the tracks to immediately north of Fairway, because one on Fairway would have to cross driveway entrances. But a good trail could be installed in either location, and the Fairway one would have the benefit of being closer to the main entrances of the businesses.
I thought the path on the north side of the LRT was official? I’m pretty confident the path along the hydro right of way was paved before.
Incidentally, I found what that NEAC thing is:

I can’t find your post where you included a photo of the Thomas the Tank Engine attached to the LRT fence otherwise I would have replied to that.
