If only there were consequences for things such as illegal turns didn't involve getting hit by a train.

Sent an e-mail suggesting a MUP to fill in the missing link between 9 Ave and 12 Ave NW and was pleasantly surprised when I received a response. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that they are able to fit it in? Shame, because crossing the tracks to continue south/north there will be annoying. If...

Would have liked to see a sidewalk/MUP added to the east side of 111 St across from Twin Brooks station between 9 and 12 Ave to fill that missing link... especially now that crossing tracks will be required to continue on the path. If you're on the east side you can at least take Running Creek...

Love seeing those slip lanes along 111 St south of 23 Ave going away.

Yeah... I was also not enthused when I saw the first photo with sharrows and painted bike lanes. If that is going to be the solution for some areas I hope it would come with some other form of traffic calming because just slapping paint on the road is not a solution. The painted sections around...

Honestly I think many people have become ignorant to how dangerous driving is. Possibly a bad comparison, but I always think to when I have to use power equipment in that back room at work to move pallets that weigh 1000++ lbs. There are procedures I need to follow and I need to be...

Surprisingly they've gotten faster at clearing it as the winter has gone on, which is nice. It took quite a while after the first substantial dump.

They're keeping only the one crosswalk at the 167 St intersection and not adding another on the west side? Unfortunate.

Could it be boundaries of separate contractors they use to clear the routes? Very frustrating. On the south side it's the same, certain portions of the same (mostly) continuous route get plowed at different time intervals.

I really hope we see more things being designed like the Dutch-style Hwy 1A & Benchlands Trail /Railway Ave intersection in Canmore (their long term plans seem to call for a few more intersections heading west on Railway ave to be designed in a similar manner -...

Agreed, the separated bike lanes through neighborhoods that we've been seeing are usually pretty enjoyable rides without having to worry about higher traffic volumes (and all the fun that comes with that). I'd love to see more bike lanes like 83 Ave/102Ave/100 Ave/126 Street.

Ah, so the same one that's been in place for the last year (wasn't sure if the construction on the WB side would change it). Yeah, will probably continue to avoid that area until the new bridge is complete....

Yeah, at least one of them (23 Ave between 111 St and 119 St) fills in a huge missing link that has been needed for a while, so I can't really complain too much yet. Hopefully we see more dedicated infrastructure like separated lanes and bike activated traffic signals in the years to come.

With the westbound lane closure does anyone know if there'll be any detour for the multiuse path?

This has definitely been frustating over the last few weeks, especially with the two decent dumps of snow we got. It took at least 3+ days (more than a week for the first one) for majority of the MUPs out of my area to even get touched. Meanwhile most people had their walks shovelled within...
