We have a few dedicated pedestrian phases in my city and it does not help very much. Cars still go when they should not.

Braid: Recall is heating up; Premier Smith now faces official campaign in her riding Alberta's recall movement keeps growing. Premier Smith now faces recall. It's no longer just an oddity, but a threat to UCP

Premier Smith now faces official recall notice. 20 UCP members under siege. This is no longer just a flashy political stunt. Some UCP members could lose special elections. Rewritten column.

No, but it's just a supplemental adjustment at the end of a four year cycle.

Since 2024, Edmonton has legalized building more affordable housing options, like row homes, in central neighbourhoods.

While only a small number, less than 1%, of properties have been redeveloped, it makes all the difference for the lives of the local workers who get to live there.

Thankfully, Knack's replacement in Nakota Isga seems to take these issues more seriously.

Admin: sidewalk riding is so unsafe it has to be illegal.

Also admin: We will take the $100M for bike lanes and instead deliver wide sidewalks.

We are getting reports of extremely unsafe riding conditions city-wide this morning. Share your #yegsnowstories with us #yegbike!

How was your commute? Are things improving?

If you're constantly stuck in horrible traffic, with no options, then you can't spend time learning about how corrupt the UCP are.

For those who use it regularly, the detour path on the 111 St bridge over the ravine for Capital Line LRT expansion is clear. Studs needed.

I was told the the stretch from 23 Av - AHD is being maintained by a subcontractor for Ledcor, not the city, so hopefully may be cleared faster.

True, but also car reliance that forces everything to be needlessly far apart.

Really hoping these end up being better than pretend Local Street Bikeways or unsafe wide sidewalks.

Skipping engagement would be fine if they were building safe infrastructure, but the track record on this project so far is poor. They've probably already killed one person by knowingly building unsafe infrastructure and they don't seem to care.

With sparkly snow gently falling over iced up surfaces, tomorrow morning's commute could get dicey. Through the Leg Grounds, the only surface not covered in ice was the skating rink, and the sloping 106 St bike lane south of Jasper is primed to pull tires sideways from under riders again. #yegbike

I feel like one of the best parts of winter biking is watching all the cars skid, slide, and struggle to get going, all while having no issues on my bike whatsoever.
