Hundreds of residents living near a new bike lane project in Edmonton are asking the province to intervene.

“I see no need for it” said a local man named Tom Ogonoski.

“The only people riding bikes around here are the ones stealing your stuff in the middle of the night” he added.

“We want the Alberta government to interfere and protect us” said resident Kimberlee Dawn.

    Not being argumentative but how is it not noticeable to cars if the speed limited got reduced ? I mean that’s usually pretty noticeable unless it’s a “traffic at walking pace” mess

      Because most streets and roads here are way too wide and most people exceed the posted speed limit. Even after they made changes to the stroad people have continued to speed. There is basically no enforcement so the reduced speed limit hasn’t really changed anything for drivers.

      But even if they did follow the limit - it still wouldn’t change much. A 10kph reduction hardly impacts arrival times.
