> Hi all,

> I've been trying to figure out (from the mayor, my ward rep and
> through the PWD) why Sligo Creek Pkwy is closed between Maple and Old
> Carroll. It's totally fine, to the somewhat-trained eye, and having
> walked it routinely, know that nothing has gone on in the few months
> that it's been closed off.
>
> Not only is it hugely inconvenient, it's also dangerous (traffic has
> to go through that stretch via other smaller roads that are not set up
> for that kind of traffic, and Lincoln, in particular, has terrible
> visibility when it comes to crossing over Carroll.)
>
> Who can tell me:
>
> - why is it closed?
> - when it will open?
>
> If no one can, who should I ask - suggestions welcome.

> Thanks,
