City councillor calls for better walking, wheeling infrastructure in northeast Calgary
Calgary is known for an extensive system of pathways and new infrastructure that’s making walking and wheeling safer, but some say not all areas are treated equally.
“Utility biking, which is non-recreational — there is no opportunity in Ward 5. We lack that infrastructure,” Dhaliwal said. “I felt that there are great pathways, but there are no class one or class two bike lanes. There’s none. It doesn’t exist.”Calgary community members celebrate opening of northwest raised pathway
“Part of the equation will be making sure the new communities are built to the best standards, but retrofits without a doubt are part of the solution for these older neighbourhoods that have been left behind,” said Bennett.shows a correlation between tree canopy in Calgary and richer communities. It’s part of a pattern in other cities across Canada where people of color and lower-income communities tend to have less tree canopy and access to green space.
Bennett said she’s grateful for the councillors who have joined Bike Calgary members for tours of the city.
