Trails

[Pheidippides]

I am extremely disappointed that the ponding issues on the IHT have not been resolved with its reconstruction. It would have been so easy to put a slight slope or bevel on the trail along with the occasional small culvert under some of the wetter spots, like near Cherry. Perhaps the city could still get it fixed under warranty (like the unplanted $1000 tree that is rotting near Cherry).

You've got to be kidding .

Can you send me a photo?  I'd like to pass it onto the planner at the city, or you can do so directly as well.

Thanks,

I plan to let the city know my thoughts directly as well, but here is a photo.

Keep in mind that we had a pretty steady, but gradual rain this morning; no catastrophic downpours.

Yet, this was the state of the trail 5 hours AFTER the rain had stopped.
   

The worst spot was near Cherry, but there were at least two other spots of pooling. One near the trail in to the Trio complex, and between Gage and the tracks.

The tree that never got planted was parallel to the trail for the longest time, but has recently been chucked further in to the bush (sorry rain on by 2MB lense does not make for a good photo):
