On that particular project, traffic movement was sped up - if anything it was at the slight expense of the convenience of pedestrians as they may have to wait slightly longer at lights while an advance left-turn green is going for instance. On the other hand, pedestrians benefit from not having cyclists on the sidewalk. Seemed like a win-win for everyone.

The City should ask anyone that has to deliver to Life plaza, or First Alberta place what they think of the cycle track and the tweaking.
