It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often bad city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s extra infuriating watching awful provincial premiers sabotaging cities by ripping out good things they FINALLY managed to achieve. Premiers should not have that power, period.

Love that Edmontonians can elect councillors who support bike lanes and infill, only for the province to override them. We’re holding a separation referendum because the Premier won’t let anyone “silence the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans.” Unless they live in Edmonton, apparently.

NIMBYs in my town love to scream, "Where's the parking!!!" whenever new housing or mixed use is proposed downtown. The parking is literally everywhere. It's never full. It's all free. You may have to walk a few hundred feet though and that's not allowed.

Two large parking lots that are actually fairly full

What frustrates me about our car culture is that it’s not humble or self-aware at all. It’s not “I need this tool for a task but I recognize the danger it poses to others”. It’s “oh you think speed limits should be enforced? fuck you”.

The prevalence of 'cyclsts' who work as Traffic Engineers, who just end up being vehiclular cyclists, is a major part of this issue. They cannot separate their experience from the experience of people who aren't as confident and experienced as they are, and it's getting people killed.

A big problem is that people aren't going to be able to take public transport if it's late, early, unreliable, slow, expensive, etc. and currently that's most local bus services. They treat them like a last resort or luxury not a service, but you can't be late to work, or spend hours to be on time.

Bingo. Applies equally in Edmonton, plus/minus a few city councillors. But administration doesn't care. They know what they're doing and they do it anyway. It should be criminal, but that would require the police, or crown prosecutors, or judges to care. They don't.

One of the hardest things about being a cyclist is dealing with the nagging feeling that a serious crash is inevitable. Because you can indeed do everything "right" and it still does not matter.

I followed every precaution and it didn’t matter

New to biking here

I started in July around the time of the fatal car crash with that biker. That and hearing everyone who bikes to work tell me that they have had horrid experiences with cars was disheartening.

I made sure to only use protected routes. I take Southwest corridor for basically my whole trip and even though it adds so much more time to my commute, it makes me feel safe.

None of that mattered because at some point, even for a second you will hit the main road. And you will always lose to the 4 ton machine. I got hit by a car parking in the bike lane. He was more concerned with his car than the fact that I could have my life potential altered forever because he was looking at his phone. And at the end of the day, the police can literally choose to not respond to your 911 call and you get stuck with medical bills.

It’s hard to have a conversation about sharing the road when people in cars feel entitled to do whatever they want and the only person who’s ever in danger is the biker. I love biking in this city and I have found a really love and joy for the outdoors because of it. Now I am terrified to even get on a bike lane, even if there is one, if it’s shared with the main road.
