Bridge bike link closes for winter

It’s the winter solstice on Friday (17:23 precisely) and the cycle and walking path on the Jacques-Cartier is now closed for winter.

The rue de la Commune bike path from the Main west to the Bonaventure is expected to be kept open this winter, but winter cyclists aren’t too impressed with the city’s ability to keep paths clear when the weather hits.

There’s heavy rain in Montreal this solstice Friday, shading to ice north of the city.

The Journal has some notes on the solstice and the impending full moon.
