## Resource

The Lower Don Trail in Toronto is finally reopening a major section between the Belleville Underpass and Queen Street East on August 1st after a nearly two-year closure due to unstable soil and weather delays. The city has upgraded the path with new paving, widened sections, and added a staircase to the Riverdale Park bridge, reconnecting key cycling and walking routes. While not fully complete—another short closure later this fall will finish an accessible sloped pathway to the Riverdale Pedestrian Bridge—the reopening is a huge win for residents, especially families and seniors. The full trail is expected to be completed next year, and despite the challenges, the city remains on budget. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
