The detour in the Trillium Pathway just north of Gladstone Avenue has finally been removed.

The detour was installed in May, 2020, for the construction of the Corso Italia LRT station. While that station is still not complete, its building is now roofed and closed to the elements.

When The BUZZ visited the pathway on December 7, we saw several cyclists and pedestrians enjoying the re-straightened path, as well as Kim out walking her dog.
