Councillor Chu has emerged as a strong opponent of the Calgary so-called cycling strategy that was written without input from our cycling community. Violations of the City's public engagement policies were well documented.
Four years after former councillor and Tour de Nuit advocacy group member Ric McIver (now Alberta Minister of Infrastructure) initiated changes to the City's cycling policies, municipal transportation planners are still resisting development of a bike network in downtown Calgary that includes extensive stakeholder consultation advocated by city's advocacy group.
