Living on Dalhousie this would save me so much time every single morning. Tired of walking all the way around just to get to class.

My backyard is constantly full of students jumping the fence. Just build the path already so we can have some privacy back!

Simcoe is a death trap for pedestrians. Do this before someone actually gets hit by a car.

About time. Walking through the parking lot in the winter is brutal.
