My sign made it onto the news. #yegbike #UCPStayInYourLane #BikeLanesSaveLives
Screenshot of a CBC News Edmonton video clip with the headline: Cyclists deliver postcards to Transportation Minister in support of bike lanes. The shit is of several cyclists with the camera focused on one cyclist's backpack with a handmade sign affixed to it that reads: I'd rather be in a bike lane. Tell the UCP to stay in their lane. So that I can stay in mine.

Hey #yegbike just a reminder about the detour on the NW of the High Level Bridge. Several cyclists seemed very confused about where to go on my commute because there is zero wayfinding signage about where the detour is. So I figured I'd share this detour map that Paths for People shared earlier.
Satellite map view of Constable Ezio Faraone Park and the High Level Bridge. There is a legend in the upper left-hand corner with a red line indicating shared path closed and a green line indicating shared path open. The typical shared use path and pedestrian sidewalk straight from the 97 Ave crosswalk to the northwest entrance of the shared use path on the High Level is closed. The detour is west along 97 Ave to connect onto the shared use path just slightly west of 110 St and then make a slight right to continue west on the shared use path avoiding the cobbled promenade and then left to continue on the shared use path towards the northwest entrance of the High Level Bridge. This path is indicated on the map with a green line.

It really pisses me off how @cdnpress.bsky.social not only doesn't call bullshit on the invented grievances, but also uses opposition framing like calling the former Bill C-69 the "No New Pipelines" bill, which was Jason Kenney's name for it, and was 100% untrue.
