I believe Viewfromthe42 was suggesting people might spraypaint a crossing point on Victoria at the trail, in order to cross directly into the parking lot rather than at the intersection.
I've heard that some of the land through the parking lot is privately-owned and obstructs the IHT. That's supposed to be some of the justification for requiring pedestrians and cyclists to use the proper intersection at Victoria/Strange/West. But almost everyone crosses with the IHT and cuts through the parking lot anyway.
In the Iron Horse report that came out last year there is a map that claims that the former rail corridor is all owned by the city, as the GRR rails ran right through where the "desire path" has been worn by people. I'm guessing Lai Lai's just assumed use of it after the rails got torn out?
