I have seen trails with low lighting that worked really well, but I guess we'll have to wait and see if this is one of those cases.

In some good news, the province has backed off on potential plans to surplus the land the Kissing Bridge Trail runs on.

The storm caused the trail between Park and Caroline to open prematurely.

Why is it still not officially open? It has been paved for over a week.

I was cycling along Homer Watson last night and noticed that they have built a MUT down the east side from Ottawa to Bleams Rd. (I didn't go farther than that so I don't know if it continues farther.)

That is good to know. Do you know if they will do only one side or will they convert the sidewalk on the other side to a MUT?

What does it connect to at its (Kitchener) west end? Homer Watson and Ottawa St S is our mega-roundabout, is there another MUT there, or planned to be?

MUT on one side only. You can see the full bid drawings here:

On other side of Hanson there was a MUT installed to the HW/Ottawa roundabout, which I think travels up Ottawa a bit.

The Iron Horse Train is open to Caroline but is incomplete on Caroline and Allen. Nice lights.

I know this is a bit old now but I have always been interested in an extension of the IHT, did anyone participate in this?

Deeply, it was killed by people who have room to park six cars minimum in their driveway complaining about parking.
