Part holds; as stated it overreaches.More in the methodology
Partly. Councillors Karen Principe and Jennifer Rice brought two cuts to Edmonton's bike-lane budget and council voted both down, but only one would have left about $50 million.
The question it is checked under
Did council pause the future bike routes when its own administration recommended it?
Going ahead. One brief covers every claim under that question, and each claim still gets its own finding. The question's page carries the reason, the grouping and the other claims made about it.
