Toronto's bike network is about to get a major upgrade
Cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and nowthe reopeningof one of Toronto's most popular trails are just a few reasons to get excited about fall in this city. After a lengthy series of delays, theLower Don Trailwill finally be fully accessible later this month.
The trail, which runs alongside the Don River from Pottery Road to Corktown Common, has been severed at the section near the River Street Bridge for two years as part of a $3.6 million Pan Am Gameslegacy projectthat was initially set to wrap last summer.
The closure left many residents disappointed and even spawned the creation of a dedicatedblogwhere people tracked construction progress and vented their frustrations at the numerous delays the project encountered.
Prior to the closure, the trail was a popular cycling route for both commuters and recreational riders alike. While the city added the
Bayview Multi-Use Trailin the meantime, it terminates at Rosedale Valley Road, which makes it less valuable for those heading to the core.
The official opening of the Lower Don Trail is set for September 23, which is the perfect time to catch the leaves changing. Fall foliage issupposed to be unrealin the Toronto area this year, so we'll have to put the newly revamped trail in the better late than never category.
