The question it is checked under
How does the money for bike lanes compare with what Edmonton spends on roads?
This claim is checked as part of that question. One brief covers every claim under it, and each claim still gets its own finding.
The investigation's outcomeGoing ahead
Capital budgets and project cost sheets can put the active-transportation allocation beside road spending and test each percentage and project comparison on the same basis.
The same claim as fifty-street-181m-600m, in different words. It is checked there, so it is not checked twice.
