I had quoted some of the posts about recent bike route complaints or questions I'd also like to complain or question about the riverpath system.

Coming from South Calgary I'm interested to know when the connection(s) in certain areas will return. I understand it might be awhile, but trying to ride my bike into downtown is awful. Certianly not encouraging at all.

East side of river, under Deerfoot Trail, connection between DouglasDale and DouglasGlen

West side of river, between southland (dog park) and Diamond Cove

North side of Glenmore, river path bridge providing access to Beaver Dam Flats (I think that's what the park is called). Cutting through Odgen along Millican Road and Ogden Road is awful.

Additionally, with the above, if you try to cut through refinery park the signage is awful, I've wasted 15 minutes two different days bombing around in there trying to get out.

Inglewood, coming off the path about 9th avenue, after the bird sanctuary and the wetlands, there's one sign up saying "bow river pathway" pointing somewhere, but two days I've not found where I'm acutally supposed to go.

5th street, 6th street and confluence way SE, no signs, no idea where to go, bikes on the road, sidewalk, grass, an area that I'm not sure if it's road parking or a bike lane.

Anyway, just a bit of a disaster.

Thanks!
