The Wilson upderpass on the W&OD remains blocked and closed. There is a big chunk of the trail missing on the upstream side.
If the Wilson underpass isn’t going to be fixed anytime soon, could they at least stripe a temporary crossing at the preferred location for crossing Wilson. The detour requires riding a narrow sidewalk on both sides and waiting on a beg button for a light. The preferred path has curb cuts on both sides and the traffic volumes are reasonable, even at rush hour, for making a safe crossing. Considering their are other unsignalized crosswalks on Wilson, this shouldn’t be a big ask.

I tried the narrow sidewalk detour today. Grumble grumble grumble. Additional complication was a rectangular access cover on the north side sidewalk, at the crossing. It is *raised* all the way around, close to an inch. That’s enough to cause an inattentive rider a fall.
Hurry up with that concrete slab repair underneath.
