It passed unanimously, this is huge!! I am so glad that this council is proving to have some bite that goes along with its bark. For context, here is the definition for 'redeveloping areas' in the report: "Redeveloping areas, as outlined in The City Plan, generally describes the area bounded by Anthony Henday Drive"

Folks would probably complain less if we say we are going to build "active transport vehicle pathways" (ATVP?) throughout the city rather than say "bike lanes".
That's exactly what the city does nowadays. No one ever complains about shared use pathways.

Except when they're misleadingly called bike lanes

Bike advocates from Paths for People (who have been meeting with every councillor) and Bike Edmonton really encouraged council to get bold and I'm so glad this council is looking to do that by accelerating the timeline.
A rep from Oliver community was also there outlining priorities for the area.

This is massive. So encouraged. I really hope this gets built in the next 6 years! It would be a game changer.
I’m fearful for the debate that will unfold though. I hope the advocacy groups and council are ready to go with talking points.
The SUP along the west valley LRT line would be amazing. Frustrated that wasn’t in the original design… doesn’t sound like they’ll add it in

If I'm understanding correctly, the 408km network of new cycle/shared use path infastructure would be built within 4 years. That's all alreas within the Henday.

Don't be silly. The city never misses a deadline.
Wow, it looks like a lot of people took up cycling once that cold snap ended in January.

I'm a little surprised (or maybe not) that we have not had more data shared.
