Catherine Steier, owns a business along Avenue C North, and was not a fan of the idea.

“Bikes lanes on Avenue C North are dangerous and unneeded. The amount of traffic and big trucks that drive down it will make it even more dangerous than it is when you add these unneeded bike lanes,” Steier wrote.

I don't know about anyone else, but bike lanes are needed specifically to separate cyclists from "traffic and big trucks".

But if people think that traffic and big trucks are the danger, then perhaps the City should put in bike lanes AND measures to restrict traffic and big trucks from those roads 😀

More specifically, speaking of "Avenue C North", much of it is residential (one lane each direction with parking on both side, so cars end up turning itnto one lane...😆). The more commercial/industrial parts don't even have sidewalks for pedestrians!

I think Saskatoon has a major car problem. And in the spirit of accessibility and safety, they absolutely should be addressing the car-centric infrastructure they've got on that road.
