(I'm especially looking at you Ktrain- with all of your exploring.)

I would love to be able to avoid the hill at Lynnview if possible, and I think that would also be encouragement for others to start commuting.
Is this stretch officially complete/open?

That's actually a brilliant idea! Even if it remained 2-way from Castle Junction to/from Johnston Canyon, and 2 way from Fireside picnic area/trailhead back to TCH; it would be a wonderful 18km stretch with 1 way traffic!

It would probably be harder to achieve for the stretch from Castle Junction to Lake Louise, since Baker Creek Chalets and a campground are smack dab in the middle.
