Spectacular reporting by CTV. I think this is going to be an important news article.
On the one hand, they show the terrifying conditions biking there, they show cycling advocates, fearless cyclists saying they won't cycle there, on the other hand, you have engineers claiming they see NO problem with this design.
I said in a few tweets, the starting point we must achieve is getting council to instruct staff that this is unacceptable, that this type of thing should never be built, it's broken, it's garbage, it negatively impacts cycling in our region, when regional staff model cycling, they see putting this infra in doesn't stimulate cycling, so they use that to argue against cycling infra, when people scream about "waste" when cycle lanes are going in, they point to this as a reason that cycling infra is a waste.
Until council will instruct the engineers NOT to do this, we won't make progress, because the engineers have no problem with this.
ATAC even seems to struggle with this frankly.
