How are Lagimodiere, Kenaston, McGillvery or Bishop Grandin bike or pedestrian friendly as they are right now?
What difference would it make to remove the at-grade crossings and replace them with interchanges and at least make the roads car friendly?
If anything interchanges might even make the areas adjacent to each other more bike/ped friendly and make it easier for non-car traffic to cross these roads.
I know for myself that I take my bike over Deerfoot using a bike/pedestrian path over an interchange everytime I use the Calgary bike path system along the river.
Don't kid yourself either. Winnipeg is a FAR more car centric city compared to Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
