Yeah, I got this timeline from a buddy in a councillor’s office. But it still feels a bit sluggish. Groups like paths for people, EFCL, bike Edmonton, etc haven’t been involved at all yet. Hopefully full steam ahead this year I guess!

It's also about attitude.
Last time I was in Edmonton EPS was parked in the middle of the bike lane on 103st, even though there multiple spots/option open on the roadway parking or the alley. I get that they were responding to something, but they had plenty of options and that's not the first time I've seen that. Sure, in an emergency situation, take what you need, but this was rolling up and going to talk to building managers.
No different than folks who use it to kiss and drop if street spots are full.
Little respect or care.
But conversely, I'd say 30% of riders I see do not use the actual lanes (not couriers).

Colder riding this week, but good to still see people out and about!

Glad my ride down 83rd Ave was counted!
I didn’t realize they tracked ridership each day. Very cool! Is there a link to this data?

Open data city portal! It’s not perfect, but is decent. 60% of my rides never get tracked because of counter locations, but this at least shows the key routes.Glad my ride down 83rd Ave was counted!

Daily bike counts | Edmonton - Open Data Portal
This dataset contains bicycle only or bicycle and pedestrian counts that are currently being monitored at 18 locations along the new bike lanes in addition to some key cyclist/.pedestrian traffic areas. Note: Within this data, it is possible that a full day's worth of data may be incomplete...

“If a journey is about five kilometres one way, I always think about using my bike first,” he said. “And likewise, if it’s around one kilometre, I typically look to walk it first.”

Anyone know if there are cheaper tickets available out there? Would love to go, but it’s pretty pricey to go casually vs it being a work related expense like I’m sure it is for most attendees.

Any time someone suggests running a bike path even close to an off leash area:
