Is there any push to increase bike safety on our roads by reducing the amount of roads people are allowed to bike on?
I would like to see our council make it illegal to bike on a few of the roads I feel we could get the majority of the citizens behind:
i.e.: Crowchild, Glenmore, Sarcee, 4th ave flyover & Blackfoot.
I would push for more (i.e. Macleod Trail south of 17th av, roads equivalent to an Anderson or a Heritage) as I feel there are plenty of parallel roads bikers can be on safely, but lets start with the low hanging fruit and then have an open discussion on the rest.
I could only find this on the city website, is it accurate?

Remember that all streets are cycling streets (except Deerfoot Trail and 8th Avenue S.W. from 1st Street East to 3rd Street West 6:00 am to 6:00 pm)

In general, I would like to see bikers eliminated from roads with high speeds and high congestion. A road like Stony Trail is interesting, due to the large shoulders it acts more as a highway, and as a society we generally accept bikers on highways
