City crews are already hard at work removing bike lanes from Fourth Avenue N in Saskatoon.

In April, city council voted to remove the protected bike lanes from the street after members of the public complained.

The dedicated bike lanes were added to the city's downtown two years ago as a way to keep cyclists safe and a way to promote cycling in the downtown.

Detractors were concerned about the lanes limiting parking spaces and creating an unsafe, confusing situation for drivers.

Previously, council had wanted to begin expanding the city's bike lane network by 2021, but that plan's timeline now seems to be up in the air.

Councillors voted 6-5 in favour of a motion to consult the public on how future bike lanes should be designed on Third Avenue, 19th Street and 23rd Street.

The bike lanes on Fourth Avenue N. will be removed in three phases. The work should be completed by June 17.

2021 and they have not been replaced.
I am on 5th Ave - no one used them.
Keep degrading your zero credibility.

Jazz cycling and walking paths are well used in every major city. Good public transit is a great investment. Unless you think that gridlocked highways are good for productivity?

This is an investment in infrastructure. Just like Saskatchewan invests in roads. Are you opposed to investments in infrastructure?

Lived in Saskatoon and Winnipeg this is an absolute bullshit statement Chuck bike paths are never used even during peak commute times

Bike paths probably great idea when integral with original design. Afterthoughts a mess in some cities.
Downtown core only place they seem to fit. But that's where the votes are.
How would you win an election?
Find the "poorest" and promise free stuff for a generation. Guarenteed.
Black market in Quebec areas quite rampant.
$400 million for a courtesy spit but everyone forgets about the billions peed away elsewhere this past while?
The WE program concept alone should indicate competence.

Lost of low income neighborhoods in Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton too. How are you going to fix those neighborhoods?

Get them working with jobs.

Wonder if any bike paths will be built in Alberta?

[blackpowder]

Just imagine if Newfoundland had been in the GTA or Quebec.
None would have moved to where the work was during last boom. They would not have had to. As a matter of fact, none did LoL.
Of course, as Winnipeg is to Manitoba, so are those two regions to Canada.
Nothing else exists or really matters.
It has been lectured to us time and again.

Someone has to say it.
Considering the source of this is Climate Barbie and the subject is public transit in Ottawa, the obvious solution is more year round snowshoe paths.

This country should be embarrassed that there are ridings that have 2 times the median income of the national average while at the same time paying out decades of equalization and having 2 hostile programs (NEP and Carbon Tax) leveled against them.

The mindset being "you don't deserve" that much.
Insert; income, land, property.
