I honestly don't know if I've ever been on that Mortimer Street connection, but I probably should have been on it at least a few times.

 

In another thread I was asking about this residential development behind Mt. Doug school. I'm pretty sure that property was an empty lot/playing field back in the day. But was that walkway always there even before the property was developed?

Maybe a right of way for some service? Potential future slip n slide attraction?

 

I've noticed many multi-modal transportation plans tend to be sorely lacking re: slip-n-slide options.

Back in the day this path at the bottom of the Mt. Tolmie reservoir was handy for getting to UVic/Henderson Park/etc.

No it was not previously there. I think it appeared after that elementary school there lost most of its fields.

How do you know they aren't actually VHF?

Never underestimate the power of hiding in plain sight.

Isn't this where we're all supposed to mourn the departure of Holden West?

 

Anyway, don't look at me. I was assigned to play HB, gumgum, and Oxford Sutherland, and I did a darned good job of it, thank you very much.

You've failed as HB. You're not ornery enough.
