Other businesses are driving innovation and putting huge money into figuring out how to stop that. I'm not saying pure free market capitalism is a wonderful thing -- it very obviously needs quite a bit more regulation than we currently have, in some key areas. That being said, I think it's better to improve upon the system we have rather than throw it all out and start over (with a new system that will have many problems which need to be fixed against the wishes of ideological purists). Pragmatism is a virtue, hence by abiding fondness for the Liberal Party of Canada and, to a lesser extent, the Alberta NDP as both of them catch poo poo for not being sufficiently [whatever] from everyone all the time.

When will more drivers realize that other drivers are a bigger impediment to their driving than cyclists and pedestrians? When I'm stuck waiting two light cycles to get through an intersection, it sure as gently caress isn't because there's a bunch of pedestrians and cyclists in front of me -- it's other people in their cars! Get them off the road and everything will be much better for those who still drive.

No but you see if I cant drive my F-150 into the heart of downtown and park directly in front of the shop i'd like to patronize then it's literally inaccessible to me and basically discrimination. Also everyone knows that cyclists are all poor hippies who dont pay taxes anyway so it's MY money paying for those bike lanes.

It's crazy -- I worked for a shop that offered one hour of free parking in a parkade that was less than half a block away, and literally no one took advantage of it. Yet the store owner still blames the bike path for hurting his business -- no, it's not the path's fault, it's your moron customers' fault.

Bikes don't follow the rules or pay gas tax they should need licenses and insurance and pay a bike tax or be banned from the roads!!!! Also this one time, this loving one time, I saw, I swear to loving god, I saw a cyclist only slow down and coast at a stop sign. I've been in therapy ever since, another service cyclists don't pay towards!!

It's sorta ironic that people who hate chilling the gently caress out and sharing the road also tend to bitch and moan about cities building separated biking infrastructure. The more you hate bikes, the more you should love getting them off the road and onto their own paths where they don't bug you.

But it removes parking and sometimes a lane of traffic! I've made peace with the bike paths in downtown Calgary now, fully, but the lane reversal to help commuters on 5th Avenue can go gently caress itself violently and repeatedly. That should have stayed one-way, and instead of putting two opposite-direction lanes on it, they should have just taken one lane and turned it into a bike path.

Every morning I walk through the intersection at Ontario and E. 8th (https://goo.gl/maps/Kga4Yn4iFW92), right next to the lol hootsuite building. Ontario is one of the busiest bikeways in Vancouver. At the beginning of the year the city put a crosswalk in, presumably to make cyclists take notice of pedestrians and loving stop. For the most part it's worked but at least half the time, some loving rear end in a top hat on a time trial in his mind will blow right through the crosswalk. Cyclists are loving idiots because vancouverites are loving idiots.

In a related anecdote, a random elderly lady followed a coworker of mine into the office this morning yelling at her about driving too fast down the road on the way in. The lady literally parked her huge truck directly in front of reception and stormed in to a quiet professional office to let loose a tirade before being kicked out by our office admin. God damned millennials with their speeding cars and loud music!

I checked that out a couple weekends back, it's not actually done yet so it stops and starts really awkwardly where roads cross it, and there are speed blocker things. It would be nice to take kids on for a cruise but not really suitable for commuting or road biking in its current state.

All road intersections have paved "on ramps" or ways to get to a crossing. Still guys on bikes in the street right next to it.

Basically this. I bet that MUP has really sharp inconvenient corners and stop signs at every intersection. Why bother when you can hit every green if you time it right. Hell some of them probably keep up with traffic anyway.
