I really hope they'll be protected.

Talked to one of the workers, he said they will be

The 103rd lanes are part of the detour when 102 is closed for Valley Line West construction

Is there a plan in place of what this will revert to when VLW is finished? It would be a wasted oppprtunity to have it return to a 4 lane road with parking on both sides…

I hope the 103 Ave bike lanes are somewhat permanent as long as they are upgraded to what the 102 Ave bike lanes are like.

The construction notice said that they'll be there until the end of 2027, when the 102 Ave lane reopens.

I’d rather see proper boulevards and trees and expanded sidewalks than bike lanes on 103ave. 100ave, 102ave, 105ave is great.

We definitely need to make our downtown streets look and feel urban and walkable and 103Ave is not it at present.

It’s a pipe dream but I would love to see an extension/continuation of the linear park that currently exists between 109 &110st. Dream scenario would be having current parks (beaver hills, warehouse, Ezio Faraone) linked together by linear parks. Even if we could design some of these streets to make for a transition to this in the future, would be incredible

102 and 103 Ave are legacies from the 70s (60s?) when they were converted to one-way streets to facilitate the rapid movement of vehicles in and out of downtown. It killed any street life that existed there and we're still living with that legacy.

On a different (and much uglier) topic - does anyone know if the psychopaths who purposefully hit the cyclist and then posted it on social media have been caught?

They are installing concrete curbs and jersey barriers.

they paved both of the approach paths last night and left the bridge 'open' this morning without barricades but later this afternoon it looks like the barricades are back so not sure that the bridge is officially open. in any case the deck looks done but still has some tools and garbage sitting on it.

Not sure why Cartmell would censor this information.

 

[dkazzed]

That's really why I bike, I like buying things and I like eating, sometimes a little too much.

But to answer your non-question, we all know why Cartmell would censor this information.
