Edgar credits 102 Ave bike lane in part for Auograph's projects.

And, take it for what it's worth, the Jameson is starting construction later this year or early 2025, and includes a plan for a public bike maintenance facility.

Family cargo bike trip to visit friends in Greenfield today, coming from the Mill Creek area.

I was impressed with the cycling infrastructure in Pleasantview and Malmo which went in as a part of their Neighbourhood Renewal. It’s possible to nitpick of course, but all in all it was a very positive experience! I appreciated the way finding signs too, made it easy to stick to cycle friendly route.

With the accelerated active transportation lane rollout coming over the next few years, continued neighbourhood renewal, and hopefully more funding for active transportation in the next budget, Edmonton is on a positive trajectory. 👍🚲
 

I want to argue Vancouver's a bit. They have segments of protected BC Parkway along the Expo Line. Also they may not have a huge network of protected bike lanes but they do have bikeways that almost act like crosstown bicycle arterials although drivers will find it difficult to impossible to get even from one neighbourhood to the next on them so they're just as safe as Edmonton's bikeway one direction painted dedicated bike lane other direction (127 St, 96 St, etc.).

Both worked great 30+ years ago and still do, but are they both up for a modern redesign?
 
Look at that glaring deadzone crossing the Yellowhead / CN tracks. I hope there are strong plans to link those two areas. I can attest that crossing the Yellowhead on a bike currently is a miserable experience. Linking those two areas would be a major boost to the amount of people on the northside that would be willing to use their bike as a primary mode of transportation.

The Yellowhead/127 St interchange should have both NB/SB MUPs when construction is completed.
The new Metro Line LRT bridge over the Yellowhead/CN should include a NB/SB MUP that is similar to the Tawatina Bridge.
The Yellowhead/St. Albert Trail interchange doesn't have any MUPs afaik - yet another missed opportunity.

Is there anything for 97 St across the Yellowhead and then the CN underpass? Even temporary/short term?
 
So the NE LRT shared path was relatively bustling this morning. Quite the scene crossing 95 St with 7 other cyclists on the walk signal. Hopefully showing people that cycling in Edmonton is very doable.

Not sure about today but yesterday our office bike parking was quite full. This too hot weather is not deterring cyclists.
