3051 | Amber latreille | they are a waste, will not be utilized and take up needed space for traffic. A waste of my taxe dollars |
3052 | Greg Stan | City Council is out of touch. Vote them all out next time. They should be working on ways to find more money for snow removal. A real problem in red deer. Red Deer is growing we need more traffic lanes not less!!! I must be a nightmare down by LTHS |
3053 | Greg Stan | Correction: traffic must be a nightmare down by LTHS |
3054 | Sydney Stan | Absolute waste of money, they should be spending it on snow removal not painting roads so bikers can only bike 5 months out of the year. Bike lanes isnt worth the heavy traffic caused by it |
3055 | Morgan See | 800,000 for maybe 4 months, good job looks like you all know what your doing. Snow removal would have been a much better idea but like I said city council knows what their doing. |
3056 | Donna | we do not need the bike lanes at all. saw some guys stunting on them |
3057 | P. Jamieson | Ill-conceived Plan at the expense of many. Money Wasted C. Jefferies likes to talk about people not liking change well come election day I'll be happy to help change some counsel names,vote for counsel that cares about all of Red Deer not just a select
few |
3058 | C Matechuk | This was ridiculus and an absolute waiste of money. I have been an avid bike rider and and see nothing gained but creating dangerous traffic congestion. |
3059 | Janzen | take the same amount of money and send it on the bike paths. then we will have safe roads and safe bike paths |
3060 | lloyd johnson | Waste of money to implement a hazardous plan. |
3061 | Gordon | So the way I read it, they are removing them from 55th Street but not from 40th Avenue and 39th Street in front of the Eastview school. We have to keep fighting until these are gone too. |
3062 | Jamie Paul | Waste of money, the city should be spending money on repairing the existing roads. |
3063 | heather corney | i have 4 young children and i keep getting people to tell me that my children should be on the road using the bike lanes. i dont drive and so as a family we bike eveywhere but the bike lanes are not safe cars dont slow down and turn in front of us without |
3064 | heather corney | sorry ran out of room the drivers dont look for poeple on the side walks trying to cross what makes anyone think that they are looking for bikes on the road next to them!! |
3065 | Chris Ball | These lanes are an accident waiting to happen. the initial roads were not designed to have these lanes allocated. I have not seen any bikes riding in these lanes as of yet. Put some money into existing roads and bike paths. |
3066 | Sherry | we are looking at a lot of injuries or deaths |
3067 | fred | wat a total waste of the tax payers money, these streets are a accident waiting for a place to happen, not to mention a lawsuit waiting to take place at city hall, witch would look good on them for creating this mess total waste of money, 8yr old kid got |
3068 | Nick Flanders | Our streets are covered in snow half of the year anyways so we would not be able even tell there is a bike lane, spend this money on snow removal instead, we need the road way, for our rapidly growing city |
3069 | Ann | I am all for exercise but I think this is a waste of money that could have been spent else where!!! I am also somewhat offended that there was not a poll with the residents of Red Deer. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY and all cause there is a councillor that bikes |
3070 | val johnson | |
3071 | Roger north | |
3072 | Rick | 5 longboarders going down 55st hill!In the bikelane?Now they have bikelanes,could they enact a bylaw to force the cyclists to use them?
To get them off the sidewalks. |
3073 | Garry VanderBaaren | I'm amazed that the city could not see ahead of time the obvious problems with THEIR plan. Seems they had their own agenda and lack ability for not seeing problems that could have been predicted without money spent. Now more money wasted on changes :-( |
3074 | Blake Vickery | This is ridiculous!! You want to spend money on something? PLOW the damn streets in the winter!!!! I am not sure if the mayer spends to much time in palm springs but we have nice weather 4 months in the year, i have seen them used 2 times? Unreal!! |
3075 | Brent Leptich | A Mother and her 2 Kids were on 39st bike lane going East. Because of the extended corner curbs (another GREAT idea), they had to swing left into traffic or jump the curb. A car following them nearly caused a head on with a west bound car. Nearly Fatal.
|
3076 | June Scott | I feel the bike lanes are very dangerous. Someone is going to get hurt or maybe even killed on them. They hold up traffic and some people in a hurry are not as careful and the slow traffic just makes them very irate. They are a waste of money. |
3077 | Quintin | Taking away traffic lanes in already congested areas makes no sense. Especially when we have winter for 7 months of the year and its impossible to ride your bike anyway. Not very well thought out! |
3078 | Heathere Gallipeau | you should have planned better where to put them!and let us know you were doing it before u did it! |
3079 | Suzanne Price | We have excellent bike paths in this city for the bikers to use without adding bike lanes to congested streets taking away much needed traffic lanes this only endangers bike riders and drivers alike |
3080 | JOY SCOTT | DUE TO THE BIKE PATHS THE LIGHTS AT 59TH AND 67TH HEADING NORTH TO THE DAWE I NOW HAVE TO SIT THROUGH 3-5 LIGHTS BEFORE I CAN PROCEED DOWN 59TH THIS IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT THE LIGHT IS NOT LONG ENOUGH. REMOVE THESE STUPID PATHS THEY ARE AN EXPENSIVE HAZARD |
3081 | Tim | Lived in Red Deer for 8 years, in that time I have seen a significant increase in traffic congestion which is only going to get worse in next decade. Council must concern itself more about efficiencies in traffic flow, not closing lanes for a select few. |
3082 | Taxpayer | How do we fire these people NOW ???? Anyone know the procedure ??? |
3083 | tom karashowsky | WTF is the matter with your heads. bring back interment camps....Hitler was right, get rid of the imbusuls for good... i,ll light the ovens now... |
3084 | Patrick Hare | Bike lanes are a joke. Mayor, City Council and
city planners are also a joke. Traffic a mess for a few bikes. |
3085 | Ashley Long | Lets get them changed before another city bus hits a pedestrian and the mayor only offers to buy them a new bike! |
3086 | Keera Rousseau | |
3087 | Karen Carter | Progress? I have lived in Red Deer as a home owner for 32 years which means TAX PAYER and this is what you do with our money?? Progress in a growing city mean more DRIVING lanes are required. We have awesome bike paths which are just fine. |
3088 | Lorraine Grover | I travel 40 Ave,32 St to Spruce dr. 4 times a day. Since Aug. 14/12 I have seen 4 people in the bike lanes. I'd like a refund on my taxes please as this was a reallllllly bad decision. Paul Harris obviously has lots of pull!!! |
3089 | Susan Derbyshire | I would like to see the bike lanes changed back to lanes. We have alot of bike paths in the city. |
3090 | Wayne | Still waiting for the big announcement that bikes need to be registered and insured in order to be on the street with other vehicles. |
3091 | Gary | Bike lanes make sense in Amsterdam and Tokyo where ~1/4 of the people go to work on bicycles. In Red Deer, where we have 6 months of blizzards it is rediculous. Which councillors wet dream was this? Where is the Mayor? Someone should be held accountable! |
3092 | JOY SCOTT | IN REGARDS TO COMMENT 3080 i MEANT GOING SOUTH GOING THROUGH THE LIGHTS . PLEASE REMEMBER THESE COUNCILLORS NAMES AND VOTE THEM OUT FOR THEIR WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS |
3093 | Linda Baggaley | I have only seen one person, yes one
person riding in a bike lane all summer.And the loss of lanes, parking, etc , without proper imput from Red Deer Tax Payers is most upsetting . And yes I agree re insurance, and licensing, and being accountable for brea |
3094 | Denton | Make the bikers pay a road tax. We have to pay for road Tax in our fuel cost. Get rid of them!!!!! |
3095 | Mike | Put tax dollars in to more useful things like fixing the roads or finishing the geatz bridge |
3096 | Woody | I have a better plan. Does anyone know where a guy can buy a couple of buckets of tar and a couple of sacks of feathers ? |
3097 | sharon hausch | |
3098 | Laura Jahraus | This is the worst idea that the City Of Red Deer came up with, especially not letting us decide. I am truly disappointed to see the waste of our tax money Finally,Red Deer roads are not so safe anymore.What a mess!!! |
3099 | Rob chapdelaine | Thx for wasting my tax money red deer. |
3100 | Marlene Allsen | Our population and vehicles is increasing the lose of lanes to bike paths which are rarely used does not make sense |
