Is TransEd or the city responsible for this stretch in terms of gravel, sidewalks, planters, garbage?

I should say from 102st west is the worse and reminds me of the lack of care or concern. East looked good and was night and day as TransEd likely is taking care of it with the COE.

More Canadian cities are warming up to the car-free street
Montreal is adding a car-free street this summer and Vancouver is doing the same

Wellington and GasTown are just a wee bit different than the abyss that 102ave is... and reminds us that places like 104st should be considered FAR before something like 102.

Smart alignment by the City would see MIP completing all required track/utility infrastructure on the intersection of 102 ave & 104 st over this summer, and then block all vehicle access from Michael Phair park to 102 until MIP completes their scope. Then work with the DBA to fund extra lighting (cross street string lights??), larger patios, secure bike parking, extra flower planters/baskets, etc for businesses along that stretch.

We know, we know. But just sharing info about more pedestrianized streets happening in Canada is just highlighting some new developments and I don't know that it means getting defensive and critical about 102 Ave every time.
I guess some posts require a trigger warning.

Wasn't triggering, but an important reminder that 102 Avenue is simply the wrong focus/place.

I agree that 102 Ave is a strange place to focus this conversation at this point. Can I suggest retitling the thread "Car-Free Streets" or something similar?
