If the prison transfer used bikes, they might still be alive.

Front page of the Calgary Sun "newspaper". Top headline: Three killed in prison transfer accident large picture: Low angle photo of a street with a bicycle lane. A car is parked against the curb, then the bike lane, then a car coming towards us in the driving lane. The words "Justify This" are in big bold letters across the photo. Lower headline: UCP will require cities to prove bike lanes will help, not hurt, neighbourhoods.

@scuttlebutt To their credit, the bike line in the picture looks awfully unsafe. No physical separation. In the dooring zone. Fainted paint.

@hannorein All good points, but even these minimal effort bike lanes are on the to-tear-out plans of the Alberta gov. Because they (lanes and bikes) get in the way of cars being cars.
