When was the fight to get the old implementation for e.g. Fort St - was protected facilities really on the table back then?

Or do you mean the current implementation on these corridors is mediocre

wait what's the definition of "mediocre" in this case, like painted bike lanes? My impression of these projects is that these are all cases of building good infrastructure where basically nothing existed before, not upgrading mediocre-but-adequate infra after original implementation

Which bike corridor required a giant fight to upgrade it from a mediocre implementation?

Yes and no, the downtown bike lanes and the rest of the CoV bike network would likely not exist without the Goose, and the Goose is still firmly at the top when you look at counter data
