Heavy use of the #yegbikegrid today. It is so great to see the impact this inexpensive and rapidly implemented transformation has made on #Edmonton for residents and visitors.

Riding a bike in the winter is so much easier than I thought, glad to see people embrace it in Edmonton!

Honestly, today it was the best choice.

That was inappropriate, uncalled for, unacceptable, and unproductive.

Troll.

Unfortunate, but the tire marks were on the asphalt.

Yup and with a new head at ATB it was only a matter of time.

Is the new head less supportive of community investment?

Airboy · #**293** Posted **Feb 20, 2018, 6:49 PM**

I don't know, but with the lack of anyone else helping to fund this, I expected ATB to eventually pull the plug.

The initial race was mostly funded by the province, with the understanding that consecutive races would have less public funding and more private funding over time. The public funding decreased but the private funding just didn't materialize.
