One thing I've noticed living in Vancouver vs. driving in Edmonton is that the lanes here are narrower to accommodate bike lanes. Now, there are already large sidewalks for bikes and pedestrians along many of these streets, but last time I was up in Edmonton, I had the distinct feeling that if they shaved, say, 40 cm off the width of lanes along 153 Ave, 75 St... streets like that, the list goes on, there'd be enough room for bike lanes on all major roads. Plus, it'd have the added advantage of slowing traffic down a touch, which also makes for a more pleasant cycling experience.
