"the PSC recommends consideration of the following lane reduction projects to implement separated cycling facilities:
• Erb Street East and Bridgeport Road East, from Highway 85 to Caroline Street
• Frederick Street/Benton Street, from Lancaster Street to Courtland Avenue
• Some sections of Victoria Street following completion of the new Highway 7"
So why then is Erb St currently being rebuilt with painted line on-road cycling lanes between Menno and Caroline. This is an example of what I was talking about above; it is uncoordinated and wasted effort.
I agree with a lot of your concerns, especially about the not worrying about small projects aspect — the city is really the sum of a lot of small projects, with occasional large projects, mostly made necessary by a lack of coordination between previous small projects. With respect to the Erb St. construction, I should point out that the current construction is west of Caroline, whereas the Erb/Bridgeport cycling facility proposals are each of Caroline.
