More people spoke in favour of the bike lanes at the council hearing than against them.

No finding
We can't tell whether more people spoke for Edmonton's bike lanes than against them, because the committee's minutes don't record which side speakers took. We'll revisit this claim if a record of their sides turns up.

The full reason, as recorded when it was set aside
We could not answer this before any research ran. The committee's minutes list every person approved to speak and every person who spoke on the bike-lane item, with any organization each gave, and record no speaker's position; the City's video recording is not archived and the panel's tools cannot play it; the contemporaneous news reports we found describe the balance in words and give no count. No record the panel can read says which way each speaker argued, so the only verdict available was Not established, decided by the shape of the record. It reopens on a record of each public speaker's position on the item that the panel can read: the City's recording archived with each speaker's position transcribed and checked by someone other than the editor, a City record of positions, or the speakers' own written submissions covering enough of the list to count. The counts the minutes do give, how many spoke and how many under an organization's name, are reported under the claim the brief tests.
