Roads also aren’t profitable.
A bike path costs 1/10th the cost of a road, and requires 1% the maintaince over time (less SNIC)
In a city like Winnipeg where we historically have -20 to -40C temps for 6 months of the year, bike paths aren’t used as much.
Remember to take into account different temperate zones when making blanket statements.
You’d think a place like Winnipeg would know the value of underground tunnels
Nobody dare making a comment on the internet without taking Winnipeg into account!!
Seasonal weather patterns are different all over Canada. What works in Victoria doesn’t in Edmonton.
No need to be arrogant.
Thank you for this learning experience, before now I was not aware of weather. Continue your valuable contributions.
Yeah my Edmonton ferry idea is how I went bankrupt the first time.
I live on the Assiniboine near the Legislature, and see a fair number of people bike every day regardless.
When the river freezes deep enough, and they have the ice trail prepped like last year, there were lots. Depending on neighbourhood, it was actually quicker getting downtown in winter than in summer.
That’s just construction and maintenance cost data. That doesn’t change based on temperature zones.
Iif you are using historical lows, Winnipeg has 7 months below -20°C.
When I was in Yellowknife, it was just easier and faster to cycle in the winter than to plug and preheat your car. But I’m sure there’s a reason it can’t work in a southern city; I’ve never been to Winnipeg.
Even if bike paths are only being used half the year (and you ignore my earlier comment about public transportation) Winnipeg budgeted $155.8 M for road maintenance in 2023 (it goes up every year). So if people drove half as much, you would save $200 per Winnipeg resident per year (and that’s before provincial and federal injections). Where are my fiscal conservatives at!!
