One of my favourite routes to get out of the river valley from Rossdale is an old, slightly neglected bike path that runs parallel to 97 Ave. It’s a gentle climb over several blocks, and now it has 50% less bollards!
They took out half of those bloody bollards!
And now that there’s one less bollard in the way, anyone hauling a trailer now actually has a chance to make it up the hill.
This path continues into the Legislative grounds where you can access the High Level Bridge and becomes a much more pleasant, though slightly steeper ride.
Choose your flavor of bumpy – poorly maintained asphalt or sidewalk slabs.
The Leg ground paths have not, however, gone on a bollard diet, and still continue to stand as a monument to the 80’s.
