Construction works started here for the realignment of the Mountain Path.

Need to do ground survey to verify construction area, trail closures, and trail re-routes.

Change to a vacant shop after the 18th.

New pit toilet somewhere around here.

Looks the new parking lot might have been built and that the toilet is at the new parking lot. Need to confirm through ground survey.

Bowen Island Municipality has approved the construction of a parking lot here. Need to survey to verify if the parking lot has been built and if any changes to the nearby trails have happened.

The extension of the "Bowen Island MUP" to Charlies Lane is anticipated to be completed by March 31, 2025. A survey of this area is needed and should also take care to note changes to the Trans Island Pathway. Multiple GPS recordings will be needed to get good accuracy as this is a steep ravine.

"The Big Stupid" trail here might be bike only (aka no foot traffic).

The lower guidepost says bike only but I suspect this is a printing error on the sign. Need to check the upper guidepost.

Multi-year trail closures starting this later this month. Need to switch trails to access=no once the closure starts.

"Starting early January 2026, sections of Riverside Walk, Dyke Loop Trail, and Island Tip Trail will be closed. Sand Dune Trail and the western tip of Deas Island will be fully closed. These closures will remain in place until completion of the tunnel project in 2030."
