Honestly if I could skate 5 or 6 km to work I think it would be great.
But, I live further than 5 or 6 km away. Maintenance on the freezeway would be too expensive. Crossings would be dangerous for pedestrians & Cars. Crossings would be hard on skates. What do you do with the space for 8 months of the year, if a bike path is the answer where do you send the bikes for 4 months of the year. Where would the space come from.
From a commuter stand point there is no way that it would work.
I don't know Edmonton well enough, but doing it in a large park like the memerial river walkway in Calgary, as a recreational program might work
