I just don't get (even before construction) why anyone would be walking on the South side of the tracks. There's nothing there and if you got to "B" there's no bridge, crossing, anything. It's never been anything but a dead end.
It was previously possible to stay on the south side and cross the tracks at Central. That crossing is now blocked. But it's only temporary, so I'm not that concerned (although it is a pain to go down that way and have to turn back). I was also somewhat confused originally, because I thought the comment was about the road being blocked (but it isn't -- it's only a detour), and I wasn't really thinking about pedestrian access at all.
Anyway, the Waterloo Park master plan is a nice thing in theory, but I don't think it's anywhere close to being implemented, is it? And when it is, maybe there will be a bridge over by the skate park.
