Construction report:

As of last night Carstowe was also closed off. *sigh* I saw pedestrians coming out of it and I thought I could at least walk my bike through, but by the time I got there the workers were trimming tree branches around the overpass and the sidewalk was blocked too.

The #41 bike route heading north works okay as follows:

Glen northeast to Summerhill
Summerhill west to MacLennan
MacLennan south to Whitehall
Whitehall west to Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant north to Inglewood
Inglewood east to Welland, and continue on as normal.

It seems like a lot of round-about stuff before Mount Pleasant, but it's not too bad because those streets are all short and low-traffic. Mount Pleasant itself is the painful bit, as always. Riding on it is a deathtrap, and I won't do it; I'll walk on the sidewalk instead. Can't wait until I can fix up my folder and make it roadworthy again, because the 20" tires make it sidewalk-legal...
