wonder what the fix is for this? rip up the asphalt and cut back the roots or just build up the asphalt to give a smooth surface or other?

It seems most/all of the canal pathway is a little narrower (2.7-3.0m measured on google maps) than the current standard of 3.3-3.5m, so hopefully they can fix that.
The detour map is going to be hilariously bad. 50 Ave to 52 St (Mattamy Greenway) looks plausible at first glance, but embarrassingly bad on closer inspection. There might be better places to dedicate the resources, but it's also a chicken/egg thing where we gotta start somewhere. South side of 50 Ave (north of train tracks) could have nearly 3km of uninterrupted path connecting canal path and greenway path (the canal path currently intersects with 52 St 5km to the south). There is a short missing-link on the greenway path for about 60 meters south of 50 ave, too.
There are a few hilariously bad
bus stops along that stretch, and this will actually be an important connector to the Lynnwood greenline station, and they really need to make some improvements if there is any hope of their ridiculous catchment area for the SE route to actually happen:

Does it seem to anyone else that the Google Maps bike layer has gotten really screwed up since the satellite image update a couple months ago? Or maybe it's always been this bad? I've probably submitted 50+ edits in the last few months.
