ottawa considering cycle lanes

The people of Ottawa are thinking of building cycle lanes including some elevated sections

'Elevated cycle paths accommodate dangerous expressway crossings. Level crossings are well posted with signage for motorists and cyclists alike. '


I'm a believer,  I guess the car transport engineers will build HUGE bulky paths capable of having a small army march along  them. The problem is that cyclists are gradient sensitive. You could be in the danger of building them and still getting cyclists risking life and limb on the at grade roads. 


My solution ( and I would say this wouldn't I ) don't build the odd bridge and the rest at grade,  keep the cycle lane up high and don't have any gradients. 


Any way a cycle lane is a cycle lane, go Ottawa
