Amateurs. Edmonton police block the bike lane when there’s an actual, available parking spot right beside where they parked. Yes, Edmonton has bike lane-protected sidewalk parking. Just installed last year.

​Funny how many people support "neighborhood greenways" but not "bike boulevards" -- even though they're exactly the same thing.

Hey Edmonton-based Bluesky friends.

Do you care about how walk-/bike-friendly 76 Avenue is, between the ravine and 99 street?

If so, you are invited to meet me and some like-minded friends at 2:30 tomorrow at Bent Stick brewing to help formulate a response the city's proposed new design. DM me!

YouTube video by bike bike nudge nudge Update 2! $100M bike lanes not completed before the snow flies.

There was enough to say about #yeg's $100M #ActiveTransportation network expansion that I needed a second video. I cover what hadn't been quite finished by mid-Nov and what was postponed.

Earth departments also have an abundant supply of door stops and paper weights as rock collections always get too big and lose their value.

Does anyone have pictures of bike lanes that have been intentionally sabotaged by unhappy residents?

For example, leaves have been raked into Delton's bike lanes, snow has been piled up in the 103 Ave temporary bike lanes, and 83 Ave has also been impacted.

Show us what you've seen, #yegbke!

We're crafting our new website. Babysteps, but the Board members and our bicycle-bios are up:

Anyone look at the 76Ave plan?

No to SUPs! Why is SUP the only option further east?

I don't see WHY the one-way bike lanes cannot go the whole way.

Anything special about the lights at 96St? Bikes have to transition twice when two-way bike lane becomes one-way.

Venice Architecture Biennale The Venice Biennale of Architecture is an international platform that engages critical conversations about contemporary architecture.

Do I know anyone looking for an ethnographer, fietsster and urbanist-nerd / architecture-geek to be part of their Venice Biennale of Architecture proposal? Deadline Jan 15'26. Biennale 2027 runs May - Nov.

And sounds like those are just the ones police responded to.
AFAIK, you can document the collision yourself then file a police report without having the police show up at your collision. There might also be some collisions that went unreported

Edmonton’s Fall 2025 Budget What Moves Us Forward — and What Holds Us Back

Edmonton released its Fall 2025 budget. There are some small steps forward for transit & active transportation.

But if you read deeper, the documents tell a much harder truth:
✖️ Failing on climate.
✖️ Failing on mode shift.
✖️ Failing on traffic safety.

Construction has largely wrapped up on 2 Ave & 7 Ave NW streetscape project, but the wheeling lanes have been barricaded as we wait for the City to install signage. Apparently it’s a liability concern and they won’t get around to it until sometime next year.

A long time ago, I helped P4P with their missing links map.

One of my concerns with the $100M network expansion is how little concern was given to intersections

Listening to Speaking Municipally this week and discussion regarding resident flagging problem spots to the City to fix regarding pedestrian safety.

Does anyone remember the Safe Streets Map? It was an interactive map that you could drop pins where there was bad spots. Maybe that gets revived?

GIS nerds, has anyone mapped the protected bike lane network against these results to see how closely they match? Bike lane density vs. votes for Knack, by neighbourhood for example?

This comment was posted on a letter to the editor about bike lanes.

"no one with a disability, injury, age related changes, or small children is going to not use a car. Those groups all need clear streets and access to good parking close to their destination. "

Don't be this person! /1

Eco stations should have an active travel entrance. As a smug cyclist, I don’t want to stand amongst the idling truck bros for 15+ mins just to drop off two bags of yard waste.

Urban Arrow's secret super power is to transform mundane errands into joyful adventures of urban exploring. #tothegrocerystoreandbeyond

In Edmonton too, city council candidates who opposed or down-played city-wide bike infrastructure, were not-elected - except one. We're inviting #KarenPrincipe (she, who invited the Prov Minister of Transportation to interfere in Municipal jurisdiction) to join us on a bike ride. #yegbike

The UCP is starting to panic.

Demetrios Nicolaides sent an email begging volunteers to fight his recall petition. He warns complacency could "topple our government".

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Picture of a black ebike display reading 10,000km

Milestone for the Urban Arrow today! 10,000km in 3 years, 3 months & 13 days of ownership.

Puts us at just over 21,000km across all the bikes since initially going #carfree in June 2022 and being #carlite for about 9 months

#yegbike

Too bad there isn’t a junction so TWO paths could be obstructed at once. 111Ave has six more poles in the path though it’s possible they will be moved

2024-2026 Active Transportation Implementation Acceleration - year of construction - Google My Maps 2024-2026 Active Transportation Implementation Acceleration - year of construction

For anyone keeping track, the City of Edmonton updated the GIS data for the active transportation network acceleration. 107Ave is coloured as if it'll be built in 2027 but the attribute data still say 2026.

Open bike lanes on 103 avenue looking east from 110 street.

They’re open! #bikelanes @yegbike.bsky.social #yegbike
(Nov. 5)

If the Chinese EV tariff is scrapped, there’s an e-bike incentive program, massive investments in heat pumps and solar panels, and more, I might take that bet but I’ll still need something to sweeten the deal. Business as usual? No bet

I get this too about my UA. My new response will be that it’s saved me $40k because it’s enabled me to own one fewer vehicle

Car pointing the wrong way parked in a bike lane

Guy covered his licence plate with a cloth grocery bag when I moved to take a picture of the back of the car. Guess he actually knew driving the wrong way down a big lane then parking isn’t allowed

“Unlike the car, the e-cargo bike afforded a unique sensitivity to the natural world and local environment [that] enabled parents to train their children in local geography and responsible mobility.”
