There’s a fun article in Wired about Edmonton proposing a frozen skating trail (bike/ ped trail in spring/summer /fall). Â It’s an interesting idea for us in the Northern climates.
But this isn’t the first I’ve heard of this type of concept. Â Joanne DeHaan is one of our traffic counters. Â She grew up in Holland during World War II, moving to Montana with her family as a teenager in the mid-40’s.
Joanne told me stories of skating up and down the canals when she was a little girl. Â Her and her father would skate to the next town over, about 10 miles away, to make business calls.
