Look! (This applies to you)

I like to traverse the trails in my local forest. Usually with trusty T-Dog in tow.

Depending on the season, there will be a few others on the trails. Or even fewer others during the quieter seasons. I avoid the busier sections as best I can - there's an abundance of beauty no matter where you go.  And T-Dog, frankly, could care less, as long as there are squirrels (or even just the possibility of squirrels.)

One routine route is Cleveland Dam / Capilano canyon. Once you're past the Dam and as long as you're not hanging by the salmon hatchery, the trails are relatively quiet. Not empty, but quiet.

However, there has been a 2+ year project to improve the municipal waterworks, with a fair amount of construction going on, usually Monday to Friday during work hours. I hadn't thought too much about it, because I'm rarely there during those times.

Until, one damp spring day, I came across this:










So of course I had to follow the arrow, to this:











Hmmmm, apparently, not all of the routine trekkers at Capilano had been paying attention to the restrictions. So someone official-ish with a can of bright spray paint made a bold move.  (My guess is that he/she probably wanted to write "LOOK IDIOTS" but thought better of it.)

Being someone with an overdeveloped sense of justice, I would never have thought about disobeying the restrictions. But then again, maybe without a big orange "LOOK" spray-painted on the ground, I wouldn't have seen the sign either.

But it's now summer and I understand that this project is done.
Whew! What an inconvenience that was... glad to put it all behind us...

Wait, what do you mean they're going to be closing Capilano Road and re-routing traffic through our narrow neighbourhood streets?! Wait, that's going to last for how long exactly?!

I see a can of bright orange spray paint in my future. And maybe a reflective vest - so I look all official-ish as I make some bold moves of my own on my neighbourhood streets.
