Though it's deep into suburbia in the SW, I am pleasantly surprised at some of the new bike infrastructure around the Heritage Valley area constructed within the last two years. Not sure if this is on the bike map, or advertised anywhere else. Was caught a little off guard when passing through...

Are there any updates at all on the Whitemud SUP? Would be nice to not have to use that horrible path down to Snow Valley to go E-W.

While 311 has been great for resident/commercial-maintained winter sidewalk enforcement, the parking enforcement is extremely frustrating. Every. Single. Day. I see vehicles parking blatantly illegally blocking entrances, crosswalks, too close to a corner, or in front of fire hydrants for a few...

This is pretty much why we can't trust other people's judgment when it comes to safe speeds, imo. I'm not extremely bothered if someone goes 10 over in a 70 zone or on the Anthony Henday, but extending that allowance to neighbourhoods/collector roads is straight up making pedestrian/cyclist...

Anecdotally, I've seen some ridiculously unsafe speeding around neighbourhoods a lot more in recent weeks. The worst being someone overtaking someone going 45 on a two-lane 40kmh collector, probably going 65+, only to get caught at a light 30 seconds later. With how comfortable people seem to...

Oh, I 100% agree. Not sure whether these are subcontractors or city crews, but I hope that the several 311 reports I made throughout the winter were noted with at least some sort of followup. Often, it felt like screaming into the void. It really, really bothers me how business/homeowners are...

Yeah, I understand the pressures that they are probably constantly under, but this winter, I sometimes seriously questioned whether the sidewalk/MUP plow operators have ever had to walk anywhere in their lives before.

Crossings were routinely blocked by windrows and even flat out ignored in my neighbourhood throughout the winter, too (for city-maintained paths). On some cases there were even random piles of snow inexplicably left by equipment in the middle of the pathways. Complete amateur hour shit.

I believe that is similar to the east path on the Groat Rd bridge south of Victoria Park Road, for reference.

True, but so many people drive on autopilot now that it's hard to knock old habits off. I think that having the red lights during the scramble and separate phases for motor vehicles/pedestrians is much safer, as the phases are pretty unambiguous for the most part. Almost everyone seems to creep...

Colour me skeptical about banning no-right-on-red at certain intersections, as I regularly see vehicles disregard the ones that already exist around the downtown bike grid, several high-collision intersections, and construction zones. In theory it is a solution but until people start getting...

Hopefully a survey on the actual snow removal policies/procedures is up next.

Huh. I thought that the preliminary design had the shared use path being moved to the new bridge with the LRT tracks.

Is there any policy-based solution to the disaster zone that neighbourhood streets around schools turn into around dropoff/pickup time? Every day, I see no less than three vehicles blatantly illegally parked (close to a crosswalk, obstructing the view, in front of fire hydrants, or outright...

From Councillor Parmar's Facebook page: So many people have asked me about upgrading 215 Street. It’s happening! 215 will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction between March 31st, 2026 and February 27th, 2027. Timelines can shift. Brookfield will be responsible for the blue stretch...

Yeah, I also found that this works. I guess it's not just a me issue, then, LOL.

For some reason, all images are showing up as broken for me, I've tried different browsers. Also a problem on the mobile site (on data and Wifi). Any insights?
