It's mildly infuriating what some municipalities think are “top achievements” when it comes to active transportation goals (lemmy.ca)

As I was looking at a local municipality's "Community Strategic Plan", they listed some "Top Achievements" for the previous year.

Among them was "Increased bike lanes by 1.01km in 2023."

I mean, seriously? A whole kilometre that was split between two different projects?! /s

Anyone else feel like their municipality is simply doing the bare minimum for cyclists so they can pat themselves on the back?

It is nice thing that public transport survived here, there are plans how to expand the network, make it more efficient...

But for bikes it really sucks, they just view it as recreational activity so not much connection between lanes (leading from nowhere to nowhere) and stuff like that.
