Upcoming city AT activity proposals - consideration, feedback, and approach with City?
-
Hi everyone,
Having a look at what the city's been engineering AT-wise lately, and some recent feedback from some of the elected officials, it seems we have some work to do. It would be excellent if we could start collecting news articles that come up, details and conversation about the AT master plan, and figuring out what we need to do with city staff & elected officials to try and get some positives moving forward - at the very least getting some recognition that cycling is not just a summer pastime, separated bike infrastructure is not only necessary but oh-my-god-why-can't-anyone-get-this saves a town big money for every buck that's put in to it: https://grist.org/cities/bike-lanes-save-lives-and-money/
Of course, if you build a bridge for 50 billion dollars but don't connect the ends of the bridge to anything, you still wind up with a waste of money.... until the ends are connected. (Thanks to Trent for the analogy)
Here's an article from Castanet covering some of the recent AT discussion: https://www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloops/534788/City_of_Kamloops_eyes_bike_friendly_changes_on_Seymour_Street
