O, The Bike Lanes of Forest Lawn

Urban development should be guided by a sustainable planning and management vision that promotes interconnected green space, a multi-modal transportation system, and mixed-use development. Diverse public and private partnerships should be used to create sustainable and livable communities that protect historic, cultural, and environmental resources. In addition, policymakers, regulators and developers should support sustainable site planning and construction techniques that reduce pollution and create a balance between built and natural systems.

New sustainable urban developments or re-developments should provide a variety of commercial, institutional, educational uses as well as housing styles, sizes and prices. The provision of sidewalks, trails, and private streets, connected to transit stops and an interconnected street network within these mixed-use developments provides mobility options and helps reduce pollution by reducing vehicle trips. Walking, bicycling, and other mobility options should be encouraged throughout the urban mixed-use core and mixed-use neighbourhoods with easily accessed and well-defined centres and edges.

What does Forest Lawn Really Look like?

Municipal governments and their bureaucrats, especially in Calgary, have become progressive Liberal cults driven by WOKE ideology that claim they are ‘working very hard’ to build back better and keep everyone safe. Of course reality is a different place than where the WOKEISTS live.

Fact.

Rest assured that bicycle lanes and enhanced transit service will greatly reduce crime in Forest Lawn and increase diversity, equity, and prosperity. Residents will be happier, healthier, and be less inclined to rob, assault, steal, stab, rape, do drugs or be homeless.

Not a fact but it sounds politically correct and plausible.

Residents can pedal their way through the Utopia made possible by GREEN WOKE initiatives. It’s only a short ride made longer by two feet of uncleared snow to International Avenue, past the culturally diverse restaurants and shops that have been permanently boarded up after the looting and riots of 2022. Past the boarded up or burnt out liquor and cannabis stores and the vape and nail shops. Past the tattoo parlours, the payday loans and pawn shops and the other shuffling masked internationalists that have not managed to steal a bicycle.

The good people of Forest Lawn that haven’t fled the neighbourhood will own nothing but a stolen bicycle to carry whatever they have stolen from each other. They wear helmets and ring their bells.

Ding Ding!

Green is gold!

Fact check please!
