Are we even removed from it?

A big portion of it will have the bike lane raised at sidewalk level. I think the city has finally realized that this is way better than street level with bollards/curbs, and will likely be going this route on streets that don't have a ton of curb cuts.
That's the big challenge with Pembina. There's so much traffic the bike lanes should be raised, but you'd have a ramp every 6 feet. There's stretches further south where all the apartments are on the west side that could be raised, but most of Pembina has been hacked to bits by parking entrances.
