No signage eastbound - just a plastic barrier.
Westbound says to use sidewalk and has the immediate sidewalk closed.
Unacceptably bad detour.

Looking forward to having to pay $4/trip next year for this… (no, no I’m not. It’s deplorable to pay so much for so little)

… I feel tired and depressed pointing to the sign, because so many folks don’t (intentional or not) put cause and effect together.

The whole changeover with Freedom Mobile's internet offering from their resold Shaw service to whatever this is with Videotron has been a peach. Can not recommend avoiding like the plague more.

This front plate to go on a Brommie luggage block is going to be awfully useful. (Zip tie a basket? Bungie odd shaped item)
Found at Blue Lug in Tokyo, made by Nitto.
