Not sure if this is being discussed in another thread, but city road crews decided to reduce 10th Street into downtown from 2 lanes to 1 lane, to add a dedicated bike lane in. Apparently the mayor didn't even know about this plan, and it's obviously caused some traffic issues...

The new bike lanes that appeared without warning last weekend on 10th Street N.W. caught cyclists, motorists — and the mayor — off guard.
Drivers fumed over traffic delays, and incomplete line markings confused some cyclists.
In a statement Thursday, Nenshi said he hadn’t heard about the pilot project until the lines were already on the road.

There's also some Calgary Sun articles on the issue, but I'd rather spare everyone from reading them.
