Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

IMG_1819.jpeg

New foot bridge in the North east.
 
It's a bit too bad that they couldn't have been finished before the back-to-school rush, but I guess they should be done before the winter.

I also wonder how/if the 23 Ave one will connect with the Saddleback Road bike lanes in some way. However, those really need to be redesigned into something less half-baked in the next few years when Blue Quill/Steinhauer/Ermineskin/Duggan gets neighborhood renewal. Or maybe 106 St undergoes collector renewal through those areas. It's kind of pathetic coming out of the new infrastrusture through Pleasantview to get dumped out on those painted bike lanes on crumbling, wide roads.
 

Coun. Paquette taking some heat for this new road allocation along Hermitage Rd in Clareview.

Separated pedestrian space. Seperated/dedicated bike lane. Space for vehicle parking. Driving lane. Drivers not happy though. Giving up/sharing any space for some drivers is like road space has been stolen from them.

That car in the background is still there. Looks like it hasn’t moved at all. There are two tickets on the windshield. I suggested to 311 that they locate and check on the owner to see if they’re ok.

For the most part, people are respectful of the lane. Facebook warriors were disproportionally louder than their numbers would suggest.

Is the driving lane really tight for vehicles like people are posting?
 
Is 66st south of the whitemud part of the 100mil plan?

Drove south on it today and noticed the entire west side (across from the LRT) is ripped up. Are they adding a MUP where it used to be a sidewalk?

Speaking of the plan, there's a few months left in construction season, has there been any updates on the 2024 routes?

Hmm. I wonder if it’s part of the LRT contract then? Looking on google maps, it looks like there’s been sections slowly being upgraded the last 4 years all along 66st. Very good to see!!
 
The multi-use trails were needed on 75 and 66 Street. In the past, Edmonton's industrial areas and arterial roads did not have much for sidewalks.
