Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

Sorry to keep harping on this... It struck me how diligently the new yet-unopened section is being plowed, compared to the well-used section! There is no obvious reason why this is enduring (to me anyway) - looking south / looking north from Wallace bridge

No doubt someone was awarded a plowing contract so plowing is being done! :->

I noticed that it was at least "unofficially" opened recently (Feb 14).

A friend spoke to the people cleaning the path behind the fence. They said they are contracted by Metrolinx and that it's up to the city to open the fence. That (fence bit) sounds a bit suspicious, but I thought I'd pass that along

Their info tracks, I dug up a picture from a recent meeting between the parties discussing this very issue:

It makes me really angry. Especially since (prior to 2023 with the interminable detour) the railpath was one of the only consistently cleared/plowed/salted walking and cycling paths we had in the west end.
