Calgary and perhaps all cities have the same discourse. The car only people get upset when bike paths or BRTs are made.
Given there are lots of roads here that are inaccessible by bike, transit or walking having no shoulders or sidewalks, I’m always happy when another option is added.
I definitely don’t think of Montreal as a driving city but consider that a part of the appeal when visiting.
I bike, walk and drive and am generally happy when all infrastructure is updated.
It’s a silly argument, too.
Bikes take up way less space than cars. The more bike infrastructure there is, the more cyclists there are, the fewer cars there are in the roads, the less traffic there is.
Drivers benefit from bicycle infrastructure. Everyone benefits from bicycle infrastructure. The more cars we can displace from roads, the better it is for literally everyone. (Aside from those selling cars, gas, and related industries, I suppose.)
