It would be nice if facilities for active transportation were given a higher priority, but this seems like a fairly minor disruption at best.
It is not the end of the trail. It continues parallel to Caroline St. right up to Erb & Caroline.
And nobody has addressed my assertion that the new route could have been built already. I agree that roads and trails sometimes need to be closed for construction but I deny that it was needed in this case (just to be clear, old route had to be closed permanently to build current plan; but new route could have been built first, and if a condo development was going to re-route a road, the new route would almost certainly be built before the old one was closed).
