I don’t see how to twin it at the CCGG, and there is a small area near Perimeter where some more excavation would be needed but other than that there is enough space to finish the twinning to Erb/Caroline. Same comment north to University.I guess that "induced demand" works for cyclists and pedestrians as it does for cars.
Indeed! Turns out lots of people will bicycle (or walk, or take transit) if appropriate infrastructure is available. The difference is that we can afford to build enough bikeways for everybody, but we can’t afford to build enough roads. Additionally, “enough” roads changes a pleasant city into a nasty freeway interchange, whereas bikeways don’t destroy the urban feel in the same way.
