I Can See Clearly Now

There was a bit of bike path running under a bridge here in London Ontario at Adelaide St that I actually emailed the City about because the sight lines were so bad. Nothing happened for many days, leaving the spot in question looking like this:

 
 
 
 
 
That spot is bad at the best of times, but the lack of sight line under the bridge thanks to the vegetation was slowing me to a crawl for fear of running into somebody.
 
Recently, however, I had the good fortune to run across not only some real improvements but also the people who did the work!
 
 
 
 
 
When asked about what I was filming, I told those guys "good stuff goes on my web site"... I wonder if they would like to know they made the cut? Pun unintentional. A keeper though, right?

This really is important, I had a close relative sent into the guardrails by a wrong-way cyclist under the Richmond bridge. He lost a whole season of cycling and training due to neck brace and recovery. I'm extra cautious around these and even tighter corners like the one under the train trestle to the east of the Adelaide bridge.

Yup, truly dangerous spots.
