I prefer the side roads.

It's not my fault that the "Main St" of Edmonton is the width of a freeway. I'll spend my money on shops along these side streets.

I think the businesses should lobby for a significant road diet to make room for MUPs on Jasper, because the cars are just driving through.

Seriously? Threatening legal action over a street renewal to put in a bike lane?

Is someone able to link to the prior plans?

The current 95ave website is the older design. I haven’t seen the new stuff come out yet. But was told they’re redesigning.

I would sue over the tree removal!

Just two small segment on 111th street and 104 ave to connect the 102 ave bike lane to 112 Street.

The 132nd Avenue Renewal gets mentioned as a positive example of how to redesign a street to work for all roads users.

Nice to see Edmonton continuing to get some positive attention!

I really think people from outside Alberta (or even Edmonton considering a chunk of Calgarians sneer at us) will be very surprised when more of this news and events like it filters out. I personally think a lot of cities (bar Montreal) have really rested on their urbanist laurels for far too long and they're in for a wake up call when Edmonton (out of all places in their opinion) starts to move past them.

Plus hey, more Youtube clout for us is always good!

Absolutely. Edmonton's not the prettiest girl at the dance, but we definitely put in the leg work.

We still have a long way to go if you ask me

...and some more positive attention for Edmonton from a new Ottawa YouTube channel (their very first video to boot!)

5:34 Edmonton's plan

Raised bike lane for eastbound bike traffic on 84th Ave between 111th and 112th Street.

The road has been repaved as well. Huge improvement. The old road had some deep pot holes! (And before it was a one way street so you weren’t actually allowed to bike east.)

This completes the 83rd Ave (and this section on 84th Ave) bike route from 112th St Street to the Mill Creek Ravine!

Are these new bike lanes a result of the fast-tracked $100 million investment? It'd be cool to see results based on that decision this fast!

These are from the Garneau Neighbourhood Renewal and were planned/funded before the $100M.

Timeline for the $100M funded bike lanes (posted earlier in this thread):

Looking forward to engagement starting in 2024!

^ the very first route that needs to be prioritized is completing the bike lane on 100 ave between 116 and 109... I get they seem to be trying to align it with the neighbourhood renewal but that's not really slated to occur until 2026 which means it won't be open for four more calendar years, minimum. Totally unacceptable given what a gaping hole it is in the very core of our bike lane network.

Especially with the summer MUP on the blocked off Vic Park Rd lane and bike lanes on the promenade. Great ride but then you're stuck with either illegally riding down the sidewalk or take your chances on the two lane road if you're trying to get further into downtown.

Always felt we need something coming out of the North Central area. I have come down 97st a few times and there is no good crossing at the yellowhead 125 ave section. The Only defined N/S route i felt was decent was 127st.

Hard to find an easy route south from 137 ave.
