Living in Waterfront Communities-The Island means navigating a convoluted bureaucracy and infrastructure that can't quite keep up with the area's rapid growth. The population stands at 65,913, and while the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail offers 3,600 km of scenic routes, portions remain undesignated, with spotty signage that can frustrate cyclists. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as the trail's expansion plans have faced delays despite government support. Overall, this is a locale best suited for those who prioritize outdoor recreation and can tolerate the occasional logistical hassle.
