I checked out the newly paved section of the IHT trail last night. It is quite nice. There is one really big bump where the trail meets the south side of Gage though. I'm not sure if it is a mistake or if Gage will be raised up to meet the trail at some point. Quite the trip hazard now, and a slip hazard in the winter, especially for those with any kind of vision impairment. It feels steeper than it looks in the photo:
I also noticed that along the Gage to Glasgow sections that got re-done last year the there are many places edges are already starting to deteriorate which is why I was advocating for an edge restraint on the current project instead of just tamping to 45 degrees.
Deterioration on this section and the Gage to Victoria section will be accelerated when they bring in big trucks to put in the lighting after the fact instead of doing it now before it was paved like they are doing for Queen to Victoria.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
