This petition is designed to inform Red Deer City Council that they made a mistake when they decided to start a pilot project and spend $750,000 on creating bike lanes throughout the City of Red Deer. The council acted on a survey that they recieved from 250 residents in Red Deer. This petition is asking Council to stop the pilot program and not spend any further money on bike lanes on existing streets. This petition is also asking Council to remove bike lanes on streets that have demonstrated severe traffic issues due to loss of entire lanes and loss of off street parking in front of residences.https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesRed Deer Bike Lanes2012-09-07T21:03:58Zhttp://www.petitionhosting.com/images/header.jpghttps://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesRed Deer Bike LanesThis petition is designed to inform Red Deer City Council that they made a mistake when they decided to start a pilot project and spend $750,000 on creating bike lanes throughout the City of Red Deer.

I am afraid for the Kids that think they are safe to ride on them, with out a licence or insurance, or the skill to negotiate with a 2 ton vehicle inches away doing 60 km/hr. Shame on City to keep them.https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesRick Mulhall2013-04-17T00:16:57ZDangerous for bikers! useless waste of road!https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesJanice Huhn2013-04-16T23:01:14ZBike lanes big waste of money.

The roads are a total mess because of poor distinction of lanes. It is totally confusing driving. My kids go to school on 39TH which is very busy. A kid is going to get hurt crossing that street!https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesmonique2013-04-16T19:38:02ZI would rather a bike hit a pedestrian than a CAR hit a person on bike.
Also due to poor signage and road markings, I have to put my children at risk daily to get them to/from school. shouldn't our city council want our children safe??https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanescobi2013-04-16T18:14:39Zhttps://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesBeverly McQuiston2013-04-16T18:08:33ZThese are the most dangerous lanes I've ever seen.

On Wed Apr 9/13 I was almost hit head on by two vehicles as I waited in the left turning lane on 40 Ave & 44 St. People drive as if there are 2 through lanes https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesPat 2013-04-10T17:31:04ZThe bike lanes are extremely frustrating and dangerous on busy roads when trying to make a right turn. Traffic is backed up, Guess what, not a cyclist in sight. Also, where is one supposed to park? Perhaps in a city more suited to year round usage. https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesWendy2013-04-07T12:50:36ZThose bike lanes have got to go. The city is not big enough for them and I don't feel safe using them at all. >:(https://www.petitionhosting.com/petitions/reddeerbikelanesJamie2013-04-05T20:14:31ZFor all of you councillors running in October here is some advice.
