AI artwork depicting 2 out of 3 people support active transportation
Someone asked AI how many people in Calgary support active transportation year round and it came back with this image indicating 66%.

Hey #yycbike, this summer let’s capture, post and celebrate the diverse use of wheeling lanes in our city.
The freedom and low cost transportation opportunities it provides is what makes Calgary awesome!
#5ANetwork
Planning to ride to this open house that’ll cover some big investment in 5A Infrastructure?
There are two racks on site at the Legion building on Kensington Rd. One at the front and one in the side.
#yycBike #5ANetwork
Every November for past 3 year, 5A Network comes up in the budget adjustments for #yyccc
Each time city admin’s recommendation cuts it in half from what was previously recommended.
2024 is no different 🙄
#yycbike #5ANetwork
Many cities have their active mobility investments get sidelined b/c they use the term “bike lane”.
Calgary has avoided this a bit by using #5ANetwork. But some criticized that term for not being plain language.
Now Calgary plans to use the term “Wheeling”. Thoughts?
#yycbike
Great to see Freedom of Choice being discussed through providing safe viable options for all mobility networks. This part reads like 5A Network.

Hey #yycbike!
Do you like #5ANetwork investment?
Is your neighbourhood in scope for current funding?
Have a say in what it will look like on this City engagement site!

It also needs to be coupled with more investment in viable walking and biking/scootering infrastructure that is safe. That way people can have the freedom to choose viable alternatives to owning a car.

This is a great podcast by @biketalkpfk about how mobility/bike lanes are good for business.👍
If you have your doubts, have a listen of their interview with Adam Roger’s of Business Insider. Skip ahead to 15:10.

Some great tips from @OhUrbanity for #Calgary to factor as it moves forward with more #5ANetwork investment.

The mistake that #Penticton made was what they named this investment in active mobility…
Bike Lanes is a politically charged name.
Take a lesson from Calgary and call it something more relevant to what it’ll provide for all ages and abilities.

This list 👆 covers the projects in scope of the $40M approved by #yyccc. There are other #5ANetwork projects out there and more could be added if #yyccc chooses to direct the City to build.
Is it just me or does Ward 4 in Calgary look really happy about the city’s decision to build #5ANetwork on Northmount Dr! 😀
#yycBike
Here is the list of the #5ANetwork projects:

The priority list of #5ANetwork projects has been released @yyc_bob
Here’s a map of where they’re investing in #5ANetwork
There’s a heavy focus on the NE which has historically been underserved.

Calgary has released its plans for its #5ANetwork build out plan for the next 3 years.

If 5 Av NW repaving was deferred by 1 year, like the community had asked, it would have been eligible for this newly proposed budget refinement that looks like a Build-Back-Better funding for #5ANetwork. 🤦♂️
#yycBike
If I was the City and wanted to list the benefits of building #5ANetwork, I would say #1 reason is to decrease the number of incidents where people on bikes are hit by people driving cars. 🤷♂️
#yycBike
Looking at the second 5A item…
It has a weird name, but this reads like Build-Back-Better funding so when streets are repaved, they actually get the #5ANetwork treatment that they need. 👍
Nice that funding starts right away. 👍
#yycBike
Setting aside the mislabeling… looking at the first #5ANetwork item, things I like:
👍Setting measure of 15 km to be built
👍Safe Routes to School focus
👍Growing choice for less car dependency
👍Acknowledging this helps congestion

The new protected mobility lane on McDougall Rd NE is dreamy!
Love the fact there’s a green patch in the passenger side door zone. Can’t wait to see the rest of it completed!
Nice work @yyctransport!
