Leelanau Trail dirt

As I took an after work bike ride, I noticed a dirt storm on my normal route. I’m not an expert, but this looks like a new parking lot on the Leelanau Trail:

Sure enough, according to the official site, there is a new trailhead being construction on Shady Lane. So we can expect a lot of dirt and a little portion of the pavement missing for a while, but nothing too inconvenient. South of Shady Lane, a couple hundred feet of the trail are now dirt, and north is a brief detour through the grass, but even on my skinny-tired road bike it wasn’t a problem. Sounds like a good improvement to the trail.
