We wonder if admin ♀️♂️ in the @CityofEdmonton's Infrastructure & @YEGclimate divisions or Urban Planning Cmtte have read this paper: "Data-driven strategies for optimal bicycle network growth" (Royal Society Open Science). royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #yegbike #change4climate
Some key take-aways:
1) Data-driven algorithms can show how/where to consolidate bicycle network components (eg; disconnected/fragmented bike lanes) into connected networks to improve efficiently sustainable 🚲 transportation. /2

2) Their bike infrastructure algorithms rapidly improve connectedness & directness of a 🚲 network. Compared with baselines, the research shows value of growing a 🚲network on a *city-wide scale* rather than randomly adding local bicycle infrastructure. /3
