I am thinking the arrival of this backhoe is phase one of our new #bike path. I talked to one of the contractor's supervisor's yesterday and he told me that they were bringing in a backhoe and will start digging on Monday morning, so this should be it. The new bike path is scheduled to be completed by 22 December, so a nice Christmas gift for our neighbourhood. It will provide connections north to downtown and for us to the #Ottawa River and the sailing club, and to the south to the village of Osgoode, some 26.5 km away. It will remove our need to bike on busy roads, too. It is going to be great when done. More photos to come over the construction period.
