Re: Road Safety - how do we maximize it?
James - the individual letters absolutely help. And the slow drip helps as well. All of our provincial wins have come this way - a slow, steady drip of relentless advocacy over many months and years. It sucks that it takes that much to move the province, but that is the way it is. So even one letter...

Hey all - Corey from Capital Bike here Great discussion above. As Lister, Shawn and others who I've chatted with know, we at Capital Bike have been working on this for a bit.

Re: Updates on plans for Goose and Lochside
It did. The next steps are public engagement on the plan and then detailed design later this year. Involvement from bike riders of all sorts is key - sports riders as well as those with kids.

Bummer, Eric Ya, crappy. We had already set and announced our date for the GVCC and Bike to Work V...

Re: Introduction
I love the wide, one way bike lanes such as the one on Johnson St. I would prefer to see these on each one way road downtown. Easy to understand, cheaper that the two-way paths, without the need for complex lights, timing and rule changes. Cyclist don't mind moving over one block to travel in the s...

Re: Introduction
Welcome Corey! Top my list on advocacy would be: Widen the goose, wide-ish bike lanes on Dallas/beach/waterfront route, more bike lanes, keep the bike tracks coming in busiest places. Widen (and add lights to) the Goose and other regional trails has been a long term aim. Regional Planning staff tol...
