Appalling waste of money.

It was separate from the the 2010 ATISP $20 million boom. The path was there for a year, maybe two and then they ripped it up to start building the Kenaston extension.<br /><br />If you have access to the old City Cycling maps take a look at 2009 versus 2011 and now 2013. 2009 it is shown as a proposed route. 2011 it is shown as a multi-use pathway. 2013 it is a future route. That is City Planning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-80770405966197263802013-09-09T09:39:48.727-05:002013-09-09T09:39:48.727-05:00Ha.You're right.Thanks.

Didn't see any sign of windrows from soil excavation, nor proper agregate foundations under the asphalt paving.<br /><br />I'm not sure of the specs but it usually requires something like soil excavation, felt or some form of poly fabric barrier, four to six inches of highly compacted 3/4 limestone topped with at least 2 inches of 1/4 down crushed limestone then two inches of asphalt.<br /><br />It also looks like it isn't a 10 foot width. Perhaps it isn't on the City plan because the city didn't tender or inspect it, and it was put in by some developer which raises some serious issues of liability if someone is injured while using it.<br /><br />I'd look in the city tenders but I'm too tired. #gopeanutgo LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
