It's not too bad. People have trampled down a pretty good "desire line" and it looks like GrandLinq has even packed down the connection with one of those things that look like a giant palm sander
I didn't want to bring it up but I'm also pretty sure I can see exactly how that cyclist got hit about a week ago on Wabanaki. Based on the photos from the news it was exactly at the trail crossing. When I went through, traffic Westbound on Wabanaki was backed up all the way up the hill to Wilson in the left lane (for people turning left onto Manitou) - but the right lane was completely free. So you have a wall of cars not moving that you have to cross... and then someone rockets down the right lane doing 80.
