I’m pretty sure King St. and its sidewalks, as well as Hughes Lane and of course Regina St., all had crossings of the tracks. As to the space between the buildings on either side of the tracks, that was marked on City maps as being part of the Laurel trail, and cleared by their sidewalk plows.
Sorry, I should have been clearer, I mean the trail between the buildings parallel to the tracks.
That was never a trail according to the region who owns the land, they have tolerated the city pretending it is a trail for a long time.
And before the Region, CN presumably. I believe the paving bricks dated from an early ’90s renovation.
Do you know for sure the official status now? There is an official traffic sign at the east end forbidding motor vehicle traffic and advising bicycles/pedestrians to be careful because it is shared with trains.
