1751 | Wendy Blonski | what a terrible waste of money. I do not recall voting on it and i feel they need to be licienced and insured like the rest of us |
1752 | Justin lajeunesse | Was it really causing so many problems with people walking and riding bikes on the sidewalks? I don't care what anybody says, a bicycle is still a pedestrian. I'd much rather see a bicycle clip into someone walking than to see a bicycle get hit by a vehicl |
1753 | Evelyne Fairbrother | These new bike lanes on very busy streets give cyclists a false sense of security. Some of these streets get very busy at times; like 55 St. to cram four lanes into two is dangerous at best, but especially so for the cyclist. |
1754 | Jeanette McCannell | Please stop the bike lanes!! I haven't yet seen a single bike on them! |
1755 | Rob Kellough | |
1756 | Shaunna den Engelsen | I would not feel safe riding my bike on these lanes. Also as a driver I am afraid to pass a bike on the path because of how narrow the car lanes are now. |
1757 | Barb Riley | I have seen them used for everything but biking! Why would you want to remove traffic lanes to accomodate bikes on the road when we already have bike paths throughout the city. Would rather ride my bike on a bike path than in traffic. Waste of money! |
1758 | Christine Beer | I have found a significant increase in traffic congestion on 40th and 39th due to one lane of traffic each way. |
1759 | Cheryl Watson | To take a city that has grown, and will only continue to grow, and cut back on road lanes? Who are you people??? Nope, won't be voting for you in the next election. |
1760 | Del Kelly | What a waste of money for something that will be used for only about 4 or five months a year. |
1761 | Jordon SMith | Waste of money. Waste of space. This is Alberta, ski lanes would have been a better idea! |
1762 | Cliff McDermott | This should never have been implemented! Waste of taxpayer dollars! |
1763 | Ann Carney | |
1764 | J Dye | Haven't seen a single cyclist in these lanes. If it's not being used, it's not needed. |
1765 | Krista Baker | So against these lanes! I see more accidents just waiting to happen. In a city growing such as ours why would you eliminate the lanes to add a bike lane??? Oh ya and FYI why would you start as project as large as the one on 32nd And 40th end of August??!!! |
1766 | Trina Kennedy | Increased safety risk now in school zones as impatient drivers are passing congested lanes in the bike lane....way to keep our kids safe! |
1767 | Shawna Brown | I am a Mom of 2 children under 5yrs and would not feel comfortable using these lanes! I do not see how they are safe...In some parts you would be in a bike lane with cars on either side to cross, how would that be safe with parents with kids? |
1768 | Gail | Waste of my taxpayer dollar and made our road system even worse. It's like council has no common sense when it comes to improving the city. Could of used the money better elsewhere. |
1769 | Steven Kennedy | Waste of money, takes me twice as long to drop off and pick up my kids from school because of congestion not to mention added emisions to the environment rather than decreasing emtions, not smart who ever came up with this idea!!!! |
1770 | Mike R | |
1771 | Elaine Sanderson | Traffic is very congested now on 39th and 40th due to the bike lanes. Not sure what will happen when the snow covers these lanes. It will be absolute chaos! I have still seen cyclists riding on the sidewalks on 39th and not using the bike lanes!! |
1772 | Todd Darcy | |
1773 | Elaine Sanderson | Traffic is very congested now on 39th and 40th due to the bike lanes. Not sure what will happen when the snow covers these lanes. It will be absolute chaos! I have still seen cyclists riding on the sidewalks on 39th and not using the bike lanes!! |
1774 | Jenna | We all know how many months of snow-free weather we get! How many months of the year are these paths going to b utilized .... If at all by the looks of it! I understand there was a significant amount of taxpaying dollars spent here-was there even a vote?! |
1775 | DON GUNDERMAN | Just another big waste of tax money.I have yet to see ONE person riding a bike in these lanes! |
1776 | Sean R | |
1777 | Beata Wojtasiewicz | What are we going to do about it as citizens of Red Deer. Maybe we should think about earlier election before those city councelor and mayour make more costing money decision. Somebody should be accountable for it. |
1778 | Dallis Smith | I am guessing that no one on council or our mayor has kids in any of the schools around EAstview or Hunting Hills that may have events to get to after school? Extra half hour every day. Not to mention the major safety issues. Bad Move Council! |
1779 | Robin Smith | Total Waste of money as usual Red Deer Council!!! |
1780 | Mckenzie | I am riding my bike on the sidewalks still as the city busses almost ran me over twice trying to stay on schedule cutting people off going in and out of the bike lanes. Will never use them, too dangerous!!! |
1781 | Dennis Sabasch | |
1782 | Larry | It' our own fault these bike lanes are happening, we all need to take in more meetings. Small groups go such as bike clubs and with no oppostion, these kinds of things happen. The city leaders stamp it and here we are. Very poor leadership. |
1783 | Myrna | Once again City council wants to live where Beaver Cleaver lived back in the 50's and 60's. Guess what times have changed and we are a big city now and our infrastructure has not caught up let alone to implement something as useless as these bike lanes. |
1784 | Browni | Really it is so hard to justify 55St they have made such a mess of that, I travel there quite a bit and have yet to see anyone brave enough to venutre down that street. Total waste of money as per usual |
1785 | Nicole Sabasch | Major waste of money!!! I've only seen one person using this bike lane - while I was stuck in a mess of traffic congestion due to them! The idea has merit but the location of the lanes was NOT planned well. |
1786 | Darcy B. | |
1787 | Brett Salomons | I didn't think it was possible for the City of Red Deer to slow down traffic more then it already has. Congratulations. |
1788 | Bonnie Roth | what a waste of money, Have not seen 1 bike on them ! just in time for winter, who decides these wonderful ideas what a waste of money.. and what a way to mess up transportation |
1789 | Barrie Levasseur | As a former resident and now occasional visitor, I would hate to think that the traffic congestion on the main arteries is worse now than it used to be. Rethink this idea please. |
1790 | Valaine Vienneu | Bike lanes are a great concept, however, not at the expense of deleting vehicle lanes. I have seen more biycles on the sidewalks than new lanes. The design of the lanes appears to be more dangerous than safe, ie- the crossover to turn from 55 St to 48 Ave |
1791 | Carmelle | As a registered nurse, I'm concerned about the safety of the cyclists. Someone is going to get seriously injured/killed. I have yet to see cyclists with helmets , or cyclists using the bike lanes appropriately |
1792 | Sherry | The whole idea of this was to improve infrastructure, this was in no way accomplished!! Bike lanes are a terrible choice for this city. |
1793 | Ann | In excess of 3/4 of a million dollars spent on a senseless project that has had a negative impact on our city.
Congratulations to Tara Veer and Chris Stephan who voted against this project. |
1794 | Dianne | Confusing Bad idea |
1795 | John Kloosterman | Very confusing imagine being a senior and coming to town...what do i do! |
1796 | Gene Boire | Total Waste,now I know were my vote will go. |
1797 | Kathy Rayner | Good intentions however it is not working. Causes traffic issues and someone is going to get hurt or killed because of impatient drivers driving in the bike lanes. Please stop now and reverse back to previous driving lanes. |
1798 | Clair McGimpsey | The majority of people in this city drive cars. A very small minority ride bikes. Some streets are now down to two lanes because of bike lanes.
I have yet to see anyone use the bike lanes but have seen long lines of cars. |
1799 | Justin | I see head-on collisions happening in the middle turning lanes in the near future. I have seen a couple near-miss incidents due to the change already. I also have not seen any cyclists use it. |
1800 | Corey Stuart | Waste of money, not to mention the liability implications if someone is hurt. |
