Narrow attitude toward bike paths

I’m not surprised the city is narrowing the bike/pedestrian paths on both sides of the High Level bridge, below their own standards and below national standards.

The statement that they’re doing it to “save money” is hard to accept. This from a council that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars ripping out new pavement (something that’s hard to find in Edmonton) just to make sure that newly installed bike lanes couldn’t be detected after they were removed?

Despite council’s actions, bicycle riding is not going away.

An education program for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists is sorely needed in our city. The real estate has to be shared. It’s done everywhere else in the world. Ken Kouri, Edmonton
