On Saturday November 23, 2001 we noticed that some spot repairs were done to the asphalt on the west end of the Taylor Creek bike path.

Prior to that the surface was quite uneven, it had been damaged due to heavy flooding one year. In one section the asphalt sank so there was a hole that took half of the path as you can see.

I had received comments about this section from TBN members and passed them on to the parks department this summer. The work is now completed and looks pretty good. Here is that same section.

Some sections where the edge had crumbled away were repaired.

While others were left.

By and large though it is a big improvement in the safety and rideability of that stretch.

There is not yet a formal mechanism for reporting trail damage. Developing that is part of the Bike Plan. In the meantime you can let me know of any problems that you see by posting them on this message board www.tbn.ca/biketoronto or by emailing me at tcc-rep@tbn.ca. I will pass them on to the appropriate City staff.
