[Saint John, NB] 🚲 Active Transportation 🛴

[adamuptownsj]

These are equally bad. This is a major commuter feeder from Bayside's industry to and from the city center. Causeway needs to remain 4 lanes.

Any focus on improving non-motor-vehicle movement between the inner east side/south end should focus on Thorne-Loch Lomond from McDonald to Crown. A 2km 'multi-use path' with a median could easily fit here, presumably on the south side of the street, if you slightly narrowed the existing lanes and scrapped the orphaned bike lane that stops at Westmorland. There's actually residents and businesses along this whole route, unlike the causeway. Would tie in with eventual Harbour Passage extension and would serve both the inner east side and the dense Westmorland Heights area.

Westmorland Road doesn't even have sidewalks between Kilburn and East Point! You want to talk active transportation, we have to do something for pedestrians before getting cute and spending Alberta's money on messing with drivers.

ACAP Saint John has an extensive plan for trails in the Marsh Creek area. Why not take them up on it?

The elevation project should be low on our priority list anyway.
