Devin Dreeshen, the UCP candidate for Edmonton-South West, has expressed his opposition to the bike lanes on 102nd Avenue in downtown Edmonton, calling them a "complete disaster" and a waste of taxpayer money. He believes that the bike lanes, which were installed in 2020 as part of a pilot project, have negatively impacted local businesses and traffic flow.

His stance has drawn criticism from cycling advocates and some residents who support the bike lanes, highlighting the ongoing debate over urban infrastructure and transportation priorities in the city.
