Bonus points: building a MUP instead of a sidewalk also helps save on winter maintenance because by default you don't have to plow it.
Congrats on getting your "modern boulevard" built at the expense of the cycling budget I guess.

Just remember that the Limebank expansion was the consolation when we decided to cancel LRT in 2006. This is what the taxpayers wanted.
Everything is half-*ssed in this city and that includes cycling infrastructure. When we do this, the end result is that most people use a car.
