I was surprised to see that the trail crossings use wooden logs rather than concrete or pavement, so I'm wondering if it's CN/CP that's doing this work. If that's the case, we need to blame them, not the city.
CN owns the crossing, the city will not touch it. The wooden logs were kind of confusing, I think someone was throwing a bone, since CN was not officially permitting a crossing there, and would only officially permit a crossing after it was built (which they are apparently doing now).
CN is doing the work now, and they may deserve some blame, but whether it's city, or city standards, or CN or whatever, there is a lack of consideration for cycling as a form of transportation.
I was wondering why it was closed. I didn't realize both crossings were closed at once too. There really is no other safe way onto the IHT...
The improved crossing should be great though, I often use a 16in wheel bike or an e-scooter, both of which I had to dismount to cross.
