The horrible rail crossing on the Iron Horse Trail at Victoria Park is soon to be no more. I was talking to the engineers and architect on the way home and a fix that I personally have been long advocating for is being done.

The plan is for the trail to curve to the left, towards the park, right before those wretched gates. It will hit the tracks at about a 90 degree angle and reach the cut off trail to Victoria Park at a "T" intersection. A left turn will take you to the park, and a right back onto the Iron Horse Trail. The current crossing will be removed and the trail taken out at the crossing.

It should be done by winter.

Here is what it will look like (approximately).
