In 2009, Edmonton City Council in Canada approved a Bicycle Transportation Plan which focused on developing an on-street bike network throughout the city. The approach to implementation can be best described as opportunistic, in that it focused on new bike routes located on underused streets as they were being reconstructed. This approach led to bike route implementation in areas with low demand, resulting in a disconnected network. While there was public engagement during the development of the bike plan, not enough effort was made to engage with Edmonto-nians affected by the changes. For many, it was a rather sudden implementation of bike lanes, which often resulted in the loss of on-street parking or fewer travel lanes, and this created frustration and angst. |
