I think they should extend the double trail (pedestrian/bicycle) that exists in the park north to just north of University at the pedestrian crossing. Eliminate the berm east of the tracks between Seagram and University, re-arrange the University’s vehicle access and parking a little bit (no need to close or re-route, just minor adjustments to exactly where the parking and curbs are), and extend the double trail right through there, across University, then crossing the tracks at the pedestrian level crossing and ending at Ring Road. That would clear it up pretty significantly I think. At the other end, extend the double trail system past the Perimeter Institute down to the bottleneck at the Clay and Glass Gallery. At the CCGG I don’t see how to do it other than to just pave a single trail absolutely as wide as possible between the CCGG and the LRT fence, although I suppose the latter could be moved a bit closer to the tracks.
