## Resource

Edmonton’s bike lane feedback portal sparked fierce debate, with early responses split nearly down the middle—half supporting, half opposing the province’s push. Critics slammed the plan for clogging traffic, stealing parking, and hurting seniors’ mobility, while calling it a “climate change scam” compared to fixing potholes. Supporters countered that bike lanes are underfunded, reduce congestion, boost health and local business, and shouldn’t be sidelined by provincial overreach. Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen insists roads won’t shrink—instead, he’s eyeing new laws to separate bikes from cars via trails. Over 13,000 responses later, the government says they’ll fund safe, well-planned infrastructure—but opponents call the polling meaningless, demanding focus on affordability and healthcare instead.
