Create Better & More Bike Lanes

Create Better & More Bike Lanes

Stop BRT and instead re-route the money to 1) make regular transit more efficient and 2) create a city wide (or at least points into downtown) bike lane system that is better separated from car traffic. Could be a totally different system with bike paths not even next to roads, bikes are smaller and can travel in a completely different way than cars - let's stop treating them the same and think innovatively.

Points

Many of the best and bike friendly cities are northern cities: https://www.wired.com/2015/06/copenhagenize-worlds-most-bike-friendly-cities/

Money is definitely needed for regular transit. City should consider carefully its future transit projects. Whether the city pursues BRT projects or not, we must remember transit is first and foremost a service, not corridors. If we build corridors, it is the service and the accessibility of those corridors that actually matters.

Stop making those awful round-a-bouts like on Grosvenor Ave. and Assiniboine Ave. These roadways was fine before. Winnipeg style round-a-bouts, because they are narrower, are UNSAFE, compared to regular traffic lanes.
