I can second that motion! Montreal's bridges were NOT fun. :-( 5 years of riding/racing there were enough thanks.
Went up and rode a loop of the Gats this morning. I noticed that the bike lanes seemed pretty clean (I didn't have an urge to just ride in the car lane, which is what I'd do if the bike lane is full of crap) and I noticed that there are now arrows indicating the direction of traffic for the bike lane. Overall I personally didn't see too much to complain about, but we'll see how those perhaps more critical of lanes/paths find it.
