Here is my suggestion for a detour: There is a sidewalk along the construction following the road where Reedsdale meets North Shore Dr. However, there is a 100 yard stretch on North Shore Dr. that isn't paved even though the space is there for a sidewalk to exist (it is currently filled with big rocks). This requires me to walk my bike down the wrong way of the one-way street as discussed in the article above. Since there is also a bus stop stranded in the middle of this unpaved sidewalk, it would solve two problems to simply pave that part in and connect it to the existing sidewalk.
