Hey
#yycbike
hive mind, how did everyone find the quality of snow clearing on their rides today? With the snow event ending on Saturday, was it generally better than usual, worse, or the same? Any surprises? Inquiring minds want to know.

Moving truck fully blocking the bike lane on 20th St SW just S of 34th Av SW. Completely oblivious to the grief they are causing.

Bike Calgary stands with Velo Canada Bikes in calling out this terrible Bill 60 just passed in Ontario. We must come together all across Canada to prevent this wrong headed thinking from spreading any further.

I found this gate unsecured on the Bow River MUP at the bird sanctuary today. Further S along the MUP I found a city crew in their pickup - didn’t know anything about the gate but agreed that it was a danger and said they’d take care of it. Was secured when I saw again a few hours later. 👍

Did you ever wonder what might happen if the debate over bike lanes came down to which side has better evidence? Well, in this case, it did.

IMPORTANT: If you can watch only ONE video about why more & wider roads won’t solve traffic congestion no matter how many billions you spend, watch THIS one. Then share it with EVERYONE. Jevons Paradox isn’t a rock band. Via Australia’s great show “Utopia” on ABC TV.

Given the drop in vehicle volumes and the major investment in bringing more residents into the downtown core, why has there been no public discussion to switch all the one-ways into 2-way roads? Seems like a giant miss in making the downtown an actual community people might want to move to.

The particularly problematic thing is that no meaningful capacity is being removed on 132 ave. It is massively over-built and there are high capacity roads just north and south of it. Adding bike lanes ADDS capacity to the overall network, and bike lanes consistently improve traffic flow.

We took a tour of 132nd Ave from Fort Road to 127th street to check out the neighbourhood renewal underway. When you see the before & after of the bike paths going in, it's obvious how it makes for a healthier, happier, and safer community.

There are at least 8 schools on or near this section of 132 Avenue, which includes long stretches with 4 lanes plus 2 service roads on each side for car traffic. There is plenty of space to build 1 protected bike lane so kids riding their bikes to school can do so safely outside of car traffic.
