Having experienced Bridgeport and Erb as a driver, pedestrian, cyclist, transit user, I know just how bad it can get. Given Bridgeport additionally only has crosswalks instead of full intersection control at Peppler and Devitt, it means a very long stretch between Weber and Regina for high speeds to be achieved.
What ookpik is suggesting (time all lights so vehicles need never slow down) will make it worse, not better.
To the advocates of the "green wave": I know this is illogical, but traffic does not move at 50km/h just because the lights are timed that way. Drivers see a wide open road, and drive accordingly, even if it means they later meet a red light they otherwise wouldn't have had to.
