There was something on CBC Radio today about local cyclists in Moncton being displeased with the new Petitcodiac River Bridge.
Even though things will be considerably better than before, with a broad sidewalk, separated from road traffic via a concrete barrier, the lobbyists are upset that they will have the share this sidewalk with pedestrians. Apparently, they think they deserved their own dedicated bicycle lane(s).
According to the spokesperson, they feel that pedestrians can be just as unpredictable, inconsiderate and vicious to the innocent cyclists as the evil motorists are, and would rather not interact with the pedestrians on the sidewalk, despite the fact that the sidewalk is seven feet wide.
There isn't anything on CBC.ca about this yet, but it may show up within the next day or so.
