This stuff ultimately needs residents to get ice chippers out. What the city needs to own is designing for a winter city. Tree’d boulevards REALLY help reduce windows overtop of sidewalks and catch basins being blocked by as much ice. I’m shocked travelling to friends’ in the burbs by how...

How many people live in twin brooks? Are we going to spend 300+ mil for an interchange and ravine bridge for this area? Maybe the redundancy is needed, the whitemud to henday connect, then to ellerslie and the LRT tie in is great. But at what cost?

It’s a pretty brutal detour. I’m not a fan when Cyclists over complain. I think we need to pick our battles. But for this entire stretch to be closed for all of 2026 with no reasonable detour is frustrating. 103st to Churchill/library should be done along 103ave. Sure would help to have that...

More of this and blatchford will really pick up

Cool video on our sister city! I honestly wish we had more consistent cold so we could do stuff like this. Our infrastructure would be better too if we didn't have to navigate the volatility we have. -25 to -5 all winter would be amazing.

Next to Freemasons building? I think I heard park for that one.

This area could be one of the densest in our city beyond Whikwentowin/garneau once finished. We badly should have got the capital line extension to be 2 more stops to heritage valley.

It’s always the cringiest grifters running these things.

Beaumont wants their apartment back

Woah. That’s crazy. Interested to hear what happened. Sucks for Crestwood area. Fresno bros to the north was probably tough competition. Then you have Walmart, Safeway, freshco, no frills all within 7 minutes too.

Edgar is also playing the right tune to maximize shareholder value 🙂 Not suggesting anything unethical. But developers will gladly play the “we can’t do anything without millions in handouts” card when they can. See the arena and ice village. I’m happy to wait on final judgement for the...

Yeah, I feel most confused on us paying $8 million to get this. Millions for a high-rise would feel better because the quality should be higher. But why do we need to subsidize wood frame builds?? And it’s not like we are that desperate for cheaper rentals downtown. There’s actually quite a...

Our most critical bike lane in the entire city. 102ave (now 103). 2 days since snow. Almost fell numerous times. Not sure how this can’t be maintained…
