The John Hextall bridge rehabilitation in Bowness looks finished. Now with LEDs:
That can't possibly be finished...where is the obstacle course?
All a byproduct of the era where bicycle and walking infrastructure is just "placemaking" exercises as opposed to transportation infrastructure. Benches, planters and park amenities are super great and needed of course... just maybe not in the middle of a bridge for no reason that causes a bunch of unnecessary conflicts and blind corners.Much better! So glad they took out those stupid planters!
That would be great to basically have full protection from downtown all the way to Cochrane once everything is connected. More protected intersections too, absolutely hate cycling through all-way stopsWould also love to see the Bowness Bike Lanes upgraded to proper cycletracks to make the entire route safe and separated.
I'm being rational about why the bus had to 'temporarily' park on a cycle track lane when there were no other parking options aren't present. Why these comments of intolerance and inflexibility? In this picture, is it unsafe to ride around the bus? Yes, I ride a bike too.

It's not illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk or road if it's done safely. 2nd, explain how/where a tour bus can park safely for passenger loading when there is no loading zone nearby. 3rd, agree.4th, buses have always parked there, the no parking sign means no long term stay.

That road famously caused community uproar when the non-existent parking lane was removedTerry Wong showing his "hidden" hate for cyclists
I guess it’s that time that we’re realizing who the idiots on council are this time aroundTerry Wong showing his "hidden" hate for cyclists

Was there any doubt with him?I guess it’s that time that we’re realizing who the idiots on council are this time around
Yep. He's only in because there were two other good candidates who split the vote.Was there any doubt with him?
His ward doesn't even want him. Stupid vote splitting.
I've used that section of cycle track once, and yeah, it kind of feels at bit useless as it is quite a short stretch. Better than what was there before, but doesn't connect well at either end. The connection to the bridge is clunky, and then once on the bridge the pathway is too narrow for bikes and pedestrians. For roughly 22 hours of the day there isn't much traffic on that bridge, but of course drivers would freak if they proposed taking out a lane.I ended up on the Edmonton Trail bike lane the other day - It seems so obvious to extend it over the flyover and along 5 Ave through dt... That section feels so useless, and 5 Ave can likely handle the removal of a traffic lane.
