The link to the funding strategy is broken. I’m interested to see that, since I counted only 5 occurrences of the word “bicycle” in the budget document, and didn’t see anything concrete there (although reading such things is not my forte.)

If you want to encourage walkability, it’s not just about the city, it’s also about developers, who need to have permits withheld if developments aren’t walkable. Try taking public transit to S. Edmonton Common and then doing a little shopping on foot or — even worse — with a baby stroller. Good luck!

I’m looking forward to seeing Edmonton’s bikeability expanded. Living downtown it’s a quick hop, skip, and a jump to U of A yet there are no bike lanes or paths taking me to the downtown core. Looking forward to 102 Ave. being redeveloped with a bike lane (or at least hoping for it).

With regards to filling in the missing sections of sidewalks I’m looking forward to 105th Ave getting some love and attention. Two new condos are currently being built on a street with no sidewalks and the amount of traffic going through the area from 107th to get to MacEwan is significant enough to merit some sidewalks, if for no other reason than safety.

Thanks for the update Aryn! Looking forward to more.
