It seems to me that there's more than enough room in the right of way of both Highwood and Bow Valley to add separated bike infrastructure. Parks Canada was looking at this a number of years back for the Icefields Parkway but the project got killed because of sightlines and space required on some of the curves in the middle of a bear corridor... I wonder if Bow Valley and Highwood (especially being under provincial jurisdiction) would be more doable?

Canada is so short sighted. Cycling tourism is the real deal. The dummies have scheduled a clear cut for a big portion of the Moose Mountain trails, too (though they will review it).
If you build it, they will come.
