Can anyone speak to the bike path planned for Donald? If I understand correctly, it is supposed to run between the cars and the buses. I'm not sure where it goes at Stradbrook (riding north towards downtown) - does it follow the buses along Queen Elizabeth Way? If so, what does it do at Main Street? Is there a convenient way to get onto the trail under the Norwood Bridge and into the Forks? 

Every time I go on Donald (to and from downtown, almost every day), I just can't visualize there being enough room for buses in both directions and the bikes (never mind the pretty trees that are in the pictures). 

Can anyone allay my worries and tell me it's all going to be fine and I'll have an easy ride downtown this winter without feeling the blow-by of cars and buses?

Tom,

The open house is the best place to get the info. It's my
understanding that the plan is to have the path go around the
apartment building at Donald and Stradbrook (the busway will go behind
the apartment building). From there, it will parallel Stradbrook to
Main. You should be able to connect to the Forks via the riverwalk
from there.
