Here in Montreal and suburbian area path that do not travel in a logical 
direction or end up in in the middle of nowhere can also be found. If most of 
your path systems are like this then it would not hurt to send a letter to 
your government to let them know. It seems that some cities put up path just 
to show that they are thinking about bicycle saftey, but know proper planning 
goes into the design. Another annoying path problem is when the path is built 
on a sidewalk. As one passes driveways the path curves down so you get this 
up and down effect as you ride. Speeds must be kept low or you can go out of 
control. In this circumstance I stay off the path and use the road next to 
it. I imagine if the police saw me they would tell me to get on the path. 
This one path that has this problem plus has hydro poles and pedestrian 
walkway also included make this a very dangerous situaion. I stay of and 
bypass this area to rejoin the path later.
