The latest Rossdale neighbourhood renewal draft is out.

The latest Rossdale neighbourhood renewal draft is out. IIRC earlier drafts had new bike lanes along 96 Avenue from the river trail to the Legislature, but that appears to have been dropped.

Instead, it looks like they're going to funnel bikes to the crappy SUP along 97 Ave, which is much less pleasant, much noisier, and has much more dangerous crossings.

There's a link to the plans and the feedback survey in this @taprootyeg article:

@Daveography @taprootyeg The street namings around there are confusing - by "the crappy SUP along 98 Ave" do you mean the SUP in front of Donald Ross school along the twinned road that leads to James McDonald bridge? Or do you mean the residential street a block north of that busy road?

In front of Donald Ross, yes. Sorry I meant 97 ave, will edit.

Gotcha. Yeah that's a weird alignment. I don't go E-W through Rossdale much, but I think I'd tend to just ride on the street on 96 St and avoid the MUP on 97.

Like you say, noise and sketchy intersections with right turn "drivers looking over their left shoulder" slip lanes on 97 vs quiet and straightforward right angle intersections on 96.
