I assume this means that the stoplight at young and weber won't be useful to anyone heading toward downtown now? That seemed like the best part of the contraflow lane... it's been easy to cross Weber this summer on account of the construction but it's normally a pain in the ass. I'm writing Debbie Chapman a scathing letter.
The route will follow Young St. at Weber.
Here is the original routing:
Here is the new routing:
Not a huge difference, but definitely harder to follow, and less intuitive, plus Ahrens is a much busier road and will have no infrastructure beyond signs...
All because after month and months of public consultation, discussion, and concern about this cheap easy win no brainer infra, one single person came to council and demanded parking 30 meters closer to their house (there is parking on Maynard across the park).
If that's all it takes to derail bike infra, nothing is ever going to change. This has happened before, I thought we might past it, I was wrong.
