Just cycled along the new section of the Martin Goodman (in the "BaseLands") and was about to report that it's open. Then I got this:

Some photos from today along the "missing link".
This one is from the bridge at the start of the older section to the west. But it felt like a nice bookend.

A beautiful picture of what I call "Christmas Forest" I've loved this spot for years, especially when its snowy; you have the crisp white of the snow and the paper birch trees the deep green of the scour rush (the green looking sticks coming out of the ground) and red coloured branches of the Red Osier Dogwood. Just a beautiful and relatively unique combination.

I was cycling on the Spit last week and noticed that the TRCA have started work on the adjacent Ashbridges Bay landform Project. This will result (by 2025) in the Spit being extended a fair bit further east. Details at: https://trca.ca/conservation/green-infrastructure/ashbridges-bay-erosion-sediment-control-project/
