Does it exist if no one says it exists?

One of my dreams is to ride bike from my home in East Kildonan on dedicated bike (human power) paths up to the Birds Hill Provincial Park to picnic or camp and come home again.

Last summer I was out for a ride up through Birds Hill (the town) to the floodway expansion project on Garven Road.  Turns out, at the end of Garven Road (the Birds Hill town side) at the floodway there is a parking lot.  From this parking lot there is a wide asphalt path going north along the west side of the floodway!  The path is designated for use with no motors.  It also goes south from this point up to the Hwy #59 bridge over the floodway and might eventually connect up with the Duff Roblin Provincial Park?  I didn't have time to find out how far it went north but it possibly could go all the way to Lockport.

A partial step in 'the dream' but getting from the west side of the floodway to the east side (where the park is) might require getting wet, or at least, using the graveled Dunning Road during the 'no water in the floodway' season.

Went out to BHPP this weekend by car and what do I see?  Below is a picture from the park's entrance northward to what looks like a bike / pedestrian bridge over Hwy #59 going east to the park gate and west to 'I don't know where.'  Maybe there is also a similar bridge planned from one side of the floodway to the other.

I have spent time looking for information on the scope of this project and have come up empty handed.  Lots of effort is going into this project but I have found no public information.  I'm not sure why the silence, but that aside, maybe this summer I will be able to make that ride in comfort!

Just in time, though, for the Northeast Pioneers Greenway Path (the Marconi Trail) to be cut in half for the Chief Peguis Trail project.  The city will be putting a bike / pedestrian bridge over it but I'm not sure of the time line for that to be completed!

One pedal at a time.
