Excellent news. I'm also glad to hear of the planned improvement of the Wilshire portion of the trail; most of that street's construction is from its days as a country road, I'm certain.
The bridge is something to look forward to. It will add a great deal of quality to a trail that is otherwise a mere glorified sidewalk. Now if we could just get those cars at the intersections of the neighborhoods along MacArthur to stop behind the crosswalk, thereby leaving the trail clear....
