Edmonton Bike Coalition
We champion a healthier, climate-friendly, and exuberant Edmonton, inviting everyone to join this transformative journey. These lanes provide safe ways for all Edmontonians, including people in wheelchairs, scooters, children biking to school, rollerbladers, and more!
What issues do you care about as you consider who to vote for in the 2025 municipal election, and why?
We want to see the City achieve their climate change, modal shift, and fiscal sustainability goals. Thankfully, enabling freedom of mobility is a key element to solving these challenges, while also helping with others like improving safety for all Edmontonians, making Edmonton more accessible for all people of all abilities, and improving health and quality of life for all residents!
For this election, we want to specifically focus on:
- Supporting candidates that will ensure a higher-quality, better managed active transportation network rollout, including improved city policies and coordination between departments so that new bike lanes also get propert snow removal, as an example.
- Improving public engagement. There are times the City needs to hear from people with real lived experience, who are affected by changes being considered, and who can provide local expertise. Bike lanes are an excellent example of this, and those of us who cycle for all types of urban and utility trips need to have a meaningful seat at the table so that our active transportation investments are as effective as possible.
