The timing is a little frustrating for me, with LRV testing and burn-in happening shortly for ion... but I've got other spots I can watch from. So I'm fine with this.
You’re right, and I shouldn’t be quite so negative. While I think the staging of construction closures is a huge fail, the final result is going to be great — a bicycle-only highway right next to the LRT, with a pedestrian route parallel to that, from the creek crossing almost to Seagram. I think each part is supposed to be something like 4m wide.
As far as I can tell, however, you will be able to watch from the west side of the LRT. There is a trail starting at Seagram and going all the way down to the creek, although it is lower and lower quality until you get to a scramble-climb up to the track crossing. As far as I know no construction is happening on that side.
Thanks for the photos. As somebody else commented, the clouds in that one photo are especially striking.
