As part of Old Strathcona renewal a couple years ago, there is a permanent protected two-way bike lane along 100 Ave from Sask Drive to the 83Ave bike lane.
With the active transportation acceleration work, this 100 Ave bike route is being extended south from 83 to 76 Ave with pin in curb infrastructure. Some lost street parking as a result. This extended new route will provide access to Happy Beer Street in Ritchie.
And then when 76Ave bike route is completed east, neighbourhoods such as King Edward and Avonmore will be connected. And then from 76 Ave new routes from 89 and 85 streets will travel north through Bonnie Doon to the river valley that are planned for next year and will help complete more of the core network where ridership potential is higher (if not cancelled by new council).

I wonder what is planned for this space where the parking was - you could do some seating perhaps, planters, paint. There are some existing curb extensions on both ends of this pic and a boulevard just south of here that doesn't exist where the parking is removed. There is not enough road space for two-way traffic and the bike lane along some of this stretch.
This is between 82-81ave on 100st if somebody wants to take a look at how this space should have been addressed.

It's also the sort of thing that's been commonly used in core neighbourhoods independent of bike lanes to calm shortcutting traffic.

Yeah, they did this in Crestwood and parkview.
I wonder how much the savings are vs a permanent install to do these “pilots”.

113 Street bike lane should be protected on street up to 113a Avenue with modal filters up to Kingsway, and a traffic light built across the busy arterial road.

Such a great initiative.

The construction bulletin refers to "a new crossing and traffic signal for active modes on Kingsway near 113 Street" which sounds promising. I wonder if they will keep the light at Kingsway and Tower Road. It was put in after that drunk lawyer killed a teenager there years ago but this new light might be a replacement for that one?

They sure made quick work out of this one. I rode by Tuesday and it was complete. No photo but I do have a photo of 95 Ave:
Also 153 Ave from Griesbach Rd to 82 St:
97 St from 153 Ave to 160 Ave:

Appears that a good section of the paving work on the west side of 111 Street shared-use path between Saddleback Road and 34 Ave is done. The crossing at 34 Ave is still an accessibility nightmare, though.
There's wooden stakes marking the other section between 37 Ave and 43 Ave (to the Royal Gardens/Duggan shared-use path), but no work has started yet. It's a separate contract, with work hopefully starting this month. The existing west-side sidewalk between 40 Ave and 43 Ave along 111 Street will be removed and upgraded to an asphalt shared-use path.

I really hope they keep the light at Tower Road. Kingsway should be urbanized and given a road diet as Blatchford gets built to its edge. Having crossings at regular intervals helps with that goal.

Agreed. There won't be a new light at 113 Street, only improved connection to Princess Elizabeth intersection.
