For the past several months Kitchener-Wilmot hydro has been doing work along the Iron Horse Trail between Victoria and Glasgow. I am not sure what the work entails, but at least some part has involved replacing hydro poles.
Crews have been very courteous to trail users, but even so there has been some trail impacts. Aside from (minor) inconvenience of the trail being partially blocked at certain times, it is now quite muddy.
Worse, some of the work appears to involve filling in the drainage ditch to the side of the trail. I have no idea what purpose this serves (for a while, it looked like they might be widening the the trail or shifting it. Regardless, the filling in of the drainage seems to have resulted in serious flooding:
This section is just south of Glasgow and I've not seen it flood before, and yet, now, it is quite flooded. Rather unfortunate I feel.
