    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    83, 100, 102 and 106st dt for sure we're not part of neighbourhood renewals. They really kick started things to have a basic network within central part of city and downtown with intent to build out from there. Warehouse Park will provide better infrastructure on 106st dt, the valley line...

    And then immediately west of 116 st down Victoria Park Rd funding goes back to active transportation network (2025 planned route).

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    There's an additional 11km to those 2024-26 proposed routes that are categorized as 'aligning with other capital projects' - that's where extra distance comes from. Certainly, when this funding was announced in 2022 I think a lot of advocates, myself included, expected we would see a lot more...

    In her closing remarks on her motion to cut active transportation funding, Principe oddly commented that if this $100 funding over 4 years resulted in a complete bike network, she would not even be putting this motion on the floor. But because it doesn't cover all areas of the city, she doesn't...

    According to Global News tonight, Sohi put a new motion forward today that no longer takes $15million out of neighbourhood renewal. He's still proposing reducing tax increase by 2% but money would come from different source. I haven't heard any other reports of that, however. Also Coun...

    Just to add more salt to the wound, primarily my own wounds, if this were the Deerfoot Trail, the entire project would be covered by the province. Calgary has all of the Deerfoot work covered including maintenance and snow removal. Meanwhile Edmontonians are on the hook for most of this project...

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    I don't understand what you are saying. Do you think this council's decision of funding the remaining amount of this project is good? Do you think the whole thing should be delayed as a reprieve of construction?

    So $15 million cut proposed to neighbourhood renewal. The city is expected to hear back from Province in Feb (budget) if $80 million is being provided to city for grants in lieu of taxes - the amount that was reduced since 2019. Sohi proposes to use the $80 million to further reduce tax...

    Based on that timeline, the remaining portion may be a 4 year project, or maybe it could be done in 3.

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    I believe administration's recommendation for the 2018-21 budget was that council fund the full Imagine Jasper Ave project and complete it in one budget cycle. But that council elected to fund 1/3rd of it and keep tax rates low and kick the can down the road. And now this current council is...

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    "Neal LaMontagne is a faculty lecturer at the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Alberta. He said the project is a good step forward but adds he wishes it was more ambitious. "It's very standardized, and it lacks colour. It lacks a little bit of oomph that we might...

    Spoke to a councillor today - they have no recollection of Cartmell putting a budget amendment forward to cut neighbourhood renewal that council, in turn, then voted no to in the last year or at any time in this budget cycle. Perhaps Coun Hamilton or Cartmell will do that this week, maybe more...

    This project was at one point going to be a highrise then got scaled back to 6-storeys. You don't see the same option happening for the lot beside this one?

    Actually I think he would like $30 million more. He said council increased it to $70 million this year and he would like it to be $100 million.

    Breaking news - Sohi proposing 2% cut to tax increase with following spending cuts / budget adjustments below. Plus if province provides $80 million in lieu of property taxes it cut, then that would reduce another 0.7%. Or it would pay the extra $10 million a year Cartmell would like to see...

    Ashley Salvador sums up neighbourhood renewal very well so thought it was worth a share.

    First panels up for the 6th and final floor! Then Westrich is perhaps on to 108st project? Or will they do the lot directly east of this one across the alley next?
