Which action would you be most likely to advocate for on bike lanes?
Context:
Edmonton's city council made national headlines in 2022 when it approved a $100-million investment over three years in the 2022-2026 budget to increase active transportation infrastructure. In 2021, the current council also approved a bylaw directing safe distances for drivers passing cyclists. Since the 2023 decision, the city has built roughly 30 kilometres of bike lanes, with a further 31 kilometres planned for 2026. In 2025, several Edmonton community members approached the provincial government to attempt to stall or cancel some lanes. Alberta Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen said he's opposed to projects that take away driving lanes. In 2025, an Ontario court struck down a provincial push there to remove bike lanes.
