Back when Mugsey was alive, I was walking with a fellow dog-walking friend when she slipped on ice that had formed in a bike path depression south of the weir. A thin layer of snow had concealed the ice lurking beneath and down she went, breaking an arm.

This was around 2011. The depression is still there along with several others. Some of them are quite deep and could cause a serious accident if a cyclist was caught unawares.

The bike path is in need of levelling and repaving to today’s standards but for some reason, it’s not been a priority.

Someone has helpfully used spray paint to outline the depression (and a few others in the vicinity) but nothing has been done since 2011. Maybe if Toronto is serious about creating a network of bike lanes around our city, these dangerous depressions can either be repaired or the bike path repaved and brought up to standard.
