* - By the way, GrandLinq has now closed the brand new fancy sidewalk/MUT beside the LRT tracks on Courtland, from Block Line to Shelley. No reason given.
Heh, Victoria doesn't even have sidewalks on some sections.
Re: Courtland.
You're referring to the one on the southwest side between the ravine and the tracks right?
To clarify it was never a MUT AFAIK, always a sidewalk right, unless I'm missing something?
As far as it being closed, I'm not surprised, it was, perhaps...the best example of what not to do for social safety, lock people in between two fences, in an narrow area, that was shockingly bad. Then the connection at Shelley had issues too...
I always treated that little stretch like it was a MUP, I dunno where else they expect cyclists to go if you're coming from Block Line there's no room in traffic on Courtland if it's busy and Shelley connects up to a bunch of very nice cycling routes to different areas of the city.
