“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.

    It’s why we need anti-car advocacy at all levels of government. Otherwise only the grumps get a say.

      Anti-car advocate of Edmonton would be rare. Theres not exactly great transit, especially at -30.

        Good point. The province should tax oil and gas companies to fund the construction of good public transit.

              That’s already an argument against using the lrt in winter. Not saying it’s not a problem - smoking meth in the entrance of lrt stations is not cool. But using that as an excuse to not provide services for everyone is peak conservatism. So yeah, they would totally use that.
