I'm looking forward to biking on the interim safe, smooth roadway, before I have to avoid it again once there are cycle tracks.

Stuff I saw recently on the Western Ave cycle track: several groups of pedestrians, a wrong-way cyclist, trash cans, a yard sale, and a small Caribbean carnival. But nobody else biking the right way.

Also, it was plowed very well in winter. But most residents took this opportunity to skip shoveling the sidewalk, so everyone walked and left trash cans in the cycle track, making it unusable for biking.
