Judy Schneider, whose husband works in the oil industry in Calgary, told the BBC she would vote "yes" in an independence referendum.

“We don’t think it’s legal,” said Michael Schneider, who heads Streets for All, the advocacy group behind the ballot measure.

In a letter to Metro Chief Executive Stephanie Wiggins last month, Schneider disputed Metro’s assertions and said the addition of bike lanes would not cause delays or affect properties if parking was not prioritized over the upgrades.

Schneider and others have said that the agency’s plan dismisses residents’ needs.

What went cruelly overlooked was the larger effect of such coercion: lasting trauma for Schneider, whose outspokenness over the years about her experience typically went unnoticed.
