New bike path linkup Rachel-Parc Avenue

My exceptional girlfriend has reported that there is a new bike path on Parc Avenue.

Does this connect Rachel bike path west-end's terminus at Parc Avenue with something? We've been waiting a year for some sort of promised connection with downtown. And will the Clark street bike path connect officially with Rachel for the last few hundred metres?

I leave to investigate as soon as the supper dishes are washed!

********************
This two-direction modern-safety-standard, separate-from-cars bike path goes from Hutchinson at Avenue des Pins (i.e. mcgill ghetto), across the pine-parc interchange, er, intersection, north on Avenue du Parc to Rachel axis, and connects to Rachel via a revamped and rebuilt and well-marked 3-lane bike path (2 lanes bikes, one lane pedestrians).

This is a big improvement, and another link in the still-incomplete downtown bike path network. Incomplete as in no link to the Esplanade-Villeneuve bike path, and no connection on hutchinson in McGill ghetto to Prince-Arthur/Milton street paths. I hope we don't have to wait years for these links to be built.
