Who wins the argument about bike lanes when evidence is required? #bike #bikecommute

Did you ever wonder what might happen if the debate over bike lanes came down to which side has better evidence? Well, in this case, it did.

A quick search indicates that no city in the world ties X% mode share to X% transportation budget. Would be good to design a stable funding mechanism to actually reach active transportation goals. I like the idea of allocating motor vehicle revenue to cycling (parking fees, speeding fines, etc…).

Our hearts are heavy with the tragic news of the loss of a beloved cyclist at the intersection of 26th Avenue and 32nd Street SW yesterday. To the family and friends of the victim, we extend our deepest condolences during this unimaginably difficult time.

Given the drop in vehicle volumes and the major investment in bringing more residents into the downtown core, why has there been no public discussion to switch all the one-ways into 2-way roads?

Seems like a giant miss in making the downtown an actual community people might want to move to. #yyccc

How do we feel about this response #yegbike?

Do you think the GOA's action reflect this statement? What could the Province do to make cycling safer or more accessible for you?

What's Up With That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse The concept is called induced demand, which is economist-speak for when increasing the supply of something (like roads) makes people want that thing even more. Though some traffic engineers made note ...

Lots of information and ideas on traffic congestion (looking at you, Minister Dreeshen) in this article - well worth a few minutes of your time. #yycbike www.wired.com/2014/06/wuwt...

The particularly problematic thing is that no meaningful capacity is being removed on 132 ave. It is massively over-built and there are high capacity roads just north and south of it.

Adding bike lanes ADDS capacity to the overall network, and bike lanes consistently improve traffic flow.

We took a tour of 132nd Ave from Fort Road to 127th street to check out the neighbourhood renewal underway. When you see the before & after of the bike paths going in, it's obvious how it makes for a healthier, happier, and safer community. #yegbike #yycbike #yeg
