Update: The Wedgewood Ravine trail looks to be completed! There's new landscaping, benches, garbage bins and fencing. The re-paved trail now has a dedicated bike lane on one side, and a pedestrian lane on the other. This will make the path safer for everyone, as there used to be a risk of someone being in the way and getting hit due to the curves and blind corners if there were any bikes coasting at high speeds down the hill. There is also a nice little viewing point at the bottom of the ravine on both sides.

Woah. Amazing!! This needs to become the new norm for popular MUPs I think!

Going to be in there this weekend. Looking forward to seeing this. And looks amazing. I still remember it as a great little road to race through when it was the only way down to EL Smith.

Edmonton city Council has prepared its report on options for completing the bike network by 2026. It goes to the Urban Planning committee on the 27th. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. Having read through the documents, I got the sense of "we'll do it if we have to," but that may just be my interpretation. If you don't have time to rifle through the Urban Planning committee report, this page sums up the options councillors will be asked to consider:

Yeah, we really need to be more aggressive for how cheap it is to install a lot of these lanes vs other kinds of infrastructure. In the same time it’ll take to do a 14km train, we could build 200kms of bike lanes for like 6-8% the cost of the west valley…Edmonton city Council has prepared its report on options for completing the bike network by 2026.

Sure we won’t see hundreds of thousands of trips every day of the year on them, but the ROI is super high

Jut FYI - I believe the bridge under the Henday might be closed due to the construction above, if you're planning on coming from the SW area.

I thought the motion from Coun. Salvador was a plan to fast track 408km of bike infrastructure. These options only address a portion of that.

Some of my ridding group crossed over yesterday to meet us at Malinas. So the under bridge is open. .

Coun. Salvador responded to my inquiry about this and said the largest reason for the difference appears to be that administration's report mostly focuses on the district connector network, rather than neighbourhood routes which would make up the majority. While this may well be a reasonable approach, she said, the report does not expand on why this determination was made. She will ask about this at Urban Planning Committee.

The 110th St bike lane at 87 Ave is getting much busier this fall. Should increase even more once the lane south of 82nd Ave is complete.

Hopefully the bike activated signals to cross 87 and 82 will be flipped on soon. It's quite sketchy currently to cross both of those.
There have been a lot more people biking to the U of A this year than previous years. Makes sense given all the bike lanes they have added to Garneau. These were all taken at 2pm on a weekday and there are many, many more bike racks around campus.
