Royal Bay in Colwood, BC comes to mind as an example of a developer that tried to do bike-friendly (and generally much nicer) sprawl and (imo) mostly succeeded

likewise, despite its reputation amongst urbanism circles as sprawl-hell, Calgary's trail network is genuinely quite impressive and continues to get built out alongside new subdivisions (dark blue = trails/protected bike lanes)

The map doesn’t really show you how they often intersect an arterial road with no safe way to cross 😅

Look, we're grading on a curve here (but also I'm impressed at the extent that Calgary _does_ have grade-separated crossings for their trails?)
