I mean, it's not like you can pave the trail during the winter. I've gotten communication from the city that they hope to be done before July. So why did they post six months?
I’ve said a couple of times that the original schedule made sense, if one assumes no winter (implicitly treating it as an unexpected bout of bad weather). Of course back here in the real world, they should have done either nothing or full completion on the paths until spring, and just got the bridge installation preparation done before winter. Perhaps certain sections of the paths could have been completed before winter, but any section that couldn’t be done before winter should have been left alone until now. The months-long closures are totally unnecessary.
Of course I also claim that the section of path from Erb/Caroline up to near the bridge should have been done 2 years ago as the LRT construction in that area wrapped up. The duration of the closure along there has been really absurd. Overall, just a lack of attention and caring.
