Alberta Politics

"Devin,

I just got your email regarding your survey and bike lanes.

I have taken the survey. Whoever designed it should be embarrassed assuming you want to hear what Albertans think and not have them say what you want them to say.

As for bike lanes, that’s a municipal decision that municipal politicians are responsible for. As a province THEY’RE NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS.

Instead of worrying about bike lanes we have, why don’t you do something about the hospitals we don’t?

Regards,

Ken"

Are you able to share this survey?

I believe it was the last Alberta Next Survey - the one they got so much flack over that they actually changed it but said they would be consolidating the results from the egregious initial one with the results from the second slightly less egregious one.

If you answered the first one, you couldn’t participate in the next one, supposedly so they could protect the integrity of the combined results. Really! It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.

The whole exercise isn’t to solicit opinions from Albertans, the whole exercise is to elicit support for and placate their wing nut base.


The fact they’re parading this in front of the rest of the country and the rest of the world (I can only imagine what’s being said behind closed doors when this is what’s being said in public) is nothing short of embarrassing.

After taking a walk down 132 Ave. to see new street along with bike path and sidewalks. I conclude that the project was designed poorly. The combined width of sidewalk and bike path going down both sides of the street exceed the width of the street itself this doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it. Keeping the power lines was also a bad idea as well, and it was an even a worse idea to plant trees directly underneath the power lines! What were they thinking? I feel sorry for the residents that live along this street and can't imagine what it must be like to remove all the snow from the combined sidewalk and bike path which is as wide as a 2 lane driveway. I suppose the bike path or sidewalk will be ignored during winter. I understand that the lack of traffic on the street warranted a road diet but they could have done a better job at it. The roads themselves were not in bad shape, they should have up-zoned the properties along the entire road to medium density giving the road the traffic it was designed to handle. The power lines could have been brought underground as well.

As much as I don't like the current Alberta government, I understand Dresshen's concerns.

Somehow I don't think that would've been any more popular with the sorts of people inclined to complain about the bike lane.

Anyway, I know this isn't the conclusion you intended for us to draw but that bike lane looks sick.
 
Well, of course it does. Like the city gave a bunch of money to a group of cycling enthusiasts and told them to design the bike path of their dreams.

Hear, hear!

As someone who grew up and went to school there and played countless sets of tennis on the courts, and drove up and down 132 Ave many times, and has now seen the change, it looks so much better and a significant improvement for the neighbourhoods in many ways.

Whatever it was is an awful lot less than what they’re about to give OEG, Again.

Don’t get me wrong, I was all in favour of the original CRL even though some of the repercussions of the details in some of the implementing agreements were/are awful for the City.

The current amendments don’t have near the public need/benefit of the first one and that’s even before the devil in the details become public.
 
If Smith/Dreeshen are really concerned about the swift movement of traffic in YEG, why don't they share their solutions to relieve congestion for motorists on Edmonton's 20 most busy roadways - none of which contain bike lanes I can pretty much guarantee.
Yeah, if they’re gonna talk like this, now would be a great time for them to pitch in money to widen the entire Henday and the Yellowhead to 6 lanes, convert the QE2 into a collector-express freeway, and maybe even convert 91st Street, Manning, Ray Gibbon and Terwillegar into full freeways 😉
