I'm relieved to see that no one was foolhardy enough to try and drive a car. It might have taken 3 or 4 days, given city council's lane closure and other bullshit.

Terb, my new source of information.

I didn't know about this. I cannot imagine the mess. Kind of another eglinton.

Take about 35 minutes to walk 3.4km FFS back when I was in my 20s.

And how fast was that bike going to do the distance when its pouring rain, 25 degrees or in the middle of winter. NA because almost nobody would bother they would all just crowd other transport means. [Note I said almost nobody not nobody]
