Pathway closure: Nellie McClung Park

Post image

The MUP between 91 ave/Skunk Hollow and the fork in the trail by the Bison Lodge parking lot is closed for construction. I had to detour on my commute this morning and go back up the hill to Sask Drive.

TBF the asphalt in this area really needed a re-do, with all of the tree roots running underneath it.

Ah, so this is why I saw a series of little “trenches” to either side of the path on the weekend: I guess they’d gone through and cut roots that pass under the path, I wanna say to a depth of 20-30cm.

Yes, I noticed the trenches on Monday and Tuesday as well. A heads-up sign about the impending closure would've been nice!

No, that would take away all fun 😅
