Share how freedom of mobility improves your life

The Government of Alberta is asking people to report concerns about bike lanes, but its survey only asks about possible problems. It does not ask how safe routes help people reach work, school, shops, appointments, transit, friends, or family.

Bike Edmonton, Paths for People, and the YEG Bike Coalition want to hear the other side. Tell us how cycling improves your life, which routes help you get around, and what you would lose if those routes were removed.

Now that Week without Bike Lanes is over, we are especially interested to hear what you experienced, felt, or learned - whether you joined the demonstration by taking the lane and especially if you felt that participating wasn't the right call for you!
Your response will help show the real value of safe, affordable, and independent mobility across Alberta. We will share anonymous aggregated data, and comments (cleaned of any personal information), publicly.
We also need to start thinking about what our advocacy efforts look like if the Province takes action to make life less safe for all Edmontonians. You can bet we'll be fighting that, but the toolset is small. Meanwhile, the people forcing their culure war nonsense onto the rest of us are empowered and lack empathy for the experiences of others. If you have ideas about how we fight for our collective safety, respect, and equitable space on the road, please let us know!
