The discussion around cycling infrastructure and Duke St, to me, really highlights the lack of holistic vision that the city/Region has for the downtown with respect to transit and cycling. Specifically, in the next decade when our buses will be driving at higher frequency headways, will our downtown be able to ensure that downtown traffic won't conflict with the buses? I imagine that we'll see some sort of BRT loop, similar to the one being constructed in London. If this is inevitable (which I think it is), shouldn't we be incorporating that scenario into the cycling grid? Otherwise, we'll just be rehashing these same arguments in ten years.
