Overwhelmingly PRO-bike/pedestrian infrastructure.
- 237 comments mention bikes/pedestrians/trails
- 177 (75%) are explicitly FOR more bike infrastructure
- 0 (0%) are against bike lanes
- 60 (25%) are neutral/unclear
The closest thing to "anti-bike" sentiment is one comment calling existing bike lanes "useless" because they're poorly designed and encroached upon by speeding motorists — but even that person wants better bike infrastructure, not less.
Verdict: Everyone wants more bike lanes. The debate is about where and how, not whether.
The Karen:
[2454] Bedford Highway
"Continuing to allow beer gardens and similar setting up here is a terrible idea and should not be permitted."
The Boomer:
[2185] Dartmouth
"Too many stupid roundabouts. Bring back proper intersections."
The Entitled:
[2376] Stanley Park
"Get rid of the bus route on Walter Havill!!!!"
The Conspiracy Theorist:
[2499] Dartmouth Crossing
"A 12-lane 4-way stop is really expecting a lot of Nova Scotia drivers."
The Visionary:
[2242] Portland Estates
"Gondola To Woodside via Baker; there is no direct bus, overcomes hills, lower staffing issues, frequent, directly connects CH to the Harbour and NSCC"
The Multilingual:
[2014] Woodlawn
"Bike lane here por favor!"
The Minimalist:
[1910] Spryfield
"Transit is terrible!"
The Contrarian:
[1954] Jollimore
"Everyone says a bike and pedestrian bridge. Just build a full bridge! Small vehicular traffic will lift the burden on the rotary. Just don't permit freight trucks."
The NIMBY Call-Out:
[2135] Tam O'Shanter Ridge
"The mixed-use apartment complex proposed on this site's much better than the long-abandoned vacant house. Let have some more housing and businesses on this spot and a lot less NIMBY opposition to it."
The Montreal Envy:
[1951] Forest Hills
"This parking lot is often only half full even at peak useage on the weekend. We should put in a little seacan market (like MTL)..."
The Absolute:
[2371] Feldspar Crescent
"NO development here! Ever!"
The Speedbump Disappointed:
[2040] Fairview
"So called speedbumps have been installed but they are so mild they are ineffective."
The Street Racing Witness:
[2137] Woodlawn
"This stretch of Main from Caledonia to Forest Hills is plagued with street racing and loudness-modified vehicles on any day that it's not winter or raining."
The Run-On Sentence:
[2374] Spryfield
"I would absolutely love a set of lights here it incredibly dangerous and it's getting even more so trying to turn left at this area the crosswalk as well can be quite a danger for people and pedestrians crossing because you have people turning left!!!"
