How about doing illegal drugs and often having outstanding warrants? That’s most of the loiterers people don’t like…

MUPs and roads are unbikeable currently if they weren’t cleared down to pavement yet. This is why bikeways and slow streets don’t work for biking unless a duplicate to a true AAA route that’s separated and cleared. The warm weather after bigger dumps is a disaster for us since we never...

Late 2028, most likely 2029+ So 4 more years.

O Oh sick. Didn’t realize LRT was back too as of this Fall. I thought bus ridership was still accounting for the higher than pre pandemic numbers. Thanks for sharing! Amazing news. How are people feeling about safety who use the capital/metro train regularly? Is it getting better? How about...

Taxpayers would rather ignorantly blame that bridge on the woke bike mafia and leftist council for wasting THEIR tax dollars 🙂 An Edmonton classic

Has LRT ridership reached pre pandemic? I thought just bus. But agreed, great graphic. I wish ETS was more innovative in their comms. They’d have super cool data they could share to celebrate ridership and show growth in users. But nah, here’s a pixelated pic of a bus on an ugly road for our...

Happy for it to be built. Not happy for the burden to not be carried enough by users that live outside the city. A higher gas/mileage tax is a better solution than tolls. And more provincial funding for roads used by our region would be more equitable.

Then let’s make the new suburbs ugly and cut out all the nice walking paths, parks, lighting, and signage. People value aesthetic, that’s why many new suburbs are more attractive to buyers. They are simply more beautiful. Improving our aging communities is key to densifying and infill. Which...

Honestly blows my mind this hasnt been built yet. Like I know the market isn’t amazing. But surely a 30-40 story rental building would do great here.

Neighborhood renewal is so important. It gets so many things accomplished at once. Renews the roads and sidewalks, sure. But also 1) narrows roads to reduce future tax burden for snow clearing/paving 2) drastically improves safety, having a large human impact, but also saving us money on...

Want to support TOD along the west valley line? Please add comments of support to this rezoning on 95ave nearby the future glenwood/sherwood stop! 3 homes becoming a potential 6 story apartment. https://engaged.edmonton.ca/WestJPRezoning

Yeah, I’m just saying people are objectively wrong about the idea that there is disproportionate spending happening. The data locally, the research globally, the financials and the bigger picture urbanist benefits are all positive and supportive of what we are doing. Do we want to be led by the...

Minneapolis and Auckland were the ones I brought up that have seen affordability improve after mass rezonings. Lots you can find online about it. San fran is an example of the opposite. Not allowing “gentrification” or densification that kicks lower income people out of “affordable homes”...

The city could learn a thing about comms from this. We need to celebrate improvements more and emphasize the true data/costs behind projects.

It’s this weird “old power” group of Edmontonians. The sort of people behind Edify. They’re suburbanites who happen to live in Glenora and work DT, but they don’t think about cities and transportation and those things like true urbanites and city builders.

The data from San fransico and San Jose vs Minneapolis or Auckland would tell a different story. Mass rezonings are better than artificially constraining it and then only releasing small amounts for redevelopment. Ex. Oakridge in vancouver…crazy prices. But a massive redevelopment that’s a...

This is what kills me. So called “common sense”, “fiscally conservative”, “do the math”, etc types seem incapable of comprehending that the 25mil/year for 4 years is literally proportional to the data we have on “primary transportation mode being biking” people. This doesn’t include the many...

I got some insight from talking with a planner. Essentially they were tasked with identifying a handful of priority growth areas from the larger list of like 19(?) in the city plan. WEM wasn’t selected as most lots around it are irregularly shaped lot in culdesac heavy neighborhoods, which...

Where is this map found sorry?
