This is what confused me about this section. Even the new bike lanes they built for the LRT end a few hundred meters before that starts. Worse, because it's a two way piece, it's even worse going the other way, you end up at the wrong side of the road with no safe way to cross.Can confirm. The separated multi-use-trail is nice while it lasts, and is way better than riding on Northfield itself, but the ending going westbound is extremely unceremonious. And c once you cross to the correct side of Northfield, you get to contend with potholes and fast cars for a few blocks until the bike lane starts.
Oh, the "one end" is at Bridge, not University. It's hard to get on to the trail there, approaching from Bridge heading northbound. You can either choose to be a "left turning car" that turns way tight into the crosswalk, or you can wait for the light and be a pedestrian. Either way, it's weird, and I'm sure all the cars around be are cursing me.
