I wonder if there has been a time other than now when more of the NCC pathways along the Ottawa River (both sides) have had so many closures, other than during flooding and rehabilitation. It's kind of astounding how much of it is closed and detoured.
@casseagull It might be due to the increase in people cycling and general interest in cycling-friendly options. I'm eagerly looking forward to the path behind Parliament to reopen.
@casseagull barely accessible. The ottawa river paths near downtown are basically gone from my mental map. If the close Alexandria we’ll loose the river and gatineau from the east for a generation.
I was actually impressed with the current detour around the closure just west of the War Museum - they put a whole new little connector path in and reopened a part of the Preston extension to connect with the path by the LRT.
@casseagull it’s not like the single lanes because of construction work just fine around westboro beach for people driving and the NCC could just use 2 of the 4 lanes close to downtown where that long-ass detour is but that’s not a precedent that can be set 🙃
