The hill up Windridge Drive is quite steep, but is quieter than the route along Mount Seymour Parkway.

A the top of Windridge hill, the choice is to connect back to Mount Seymour Parkway or to use a small trail that connects to Berkley Road. Project ends at Berkley Road at the Recreation Centre. Sign says "Temporay End of Trail".

The Marine Drive multi-use path construction is starting soon. This will close the off-ramp on the north end of the Lions Gate Bridge to bikes.

The recommended detour is to wrap around under the bridge, over to the rugby club and Lionsgate village.

Other bike lanes, not so much. The shoulder bike lane on the Low Level Road looked unusable and the westbound section between St Andrews and St Georges was also uncleared.
1st Street bike lane (near Rona). Looks like it was cleared yesterday, but had a bit of new snow. Shoulder bike lane on Esplanade St between St Andrews and St Georges. The bike lane is covered with snow and unusable.
