Mill Woods Road is really the centerpiece of this pilot, which would actually be great if it had any bike infrastructure whatsoever, or at least wasn’t insanely wide
Kathy Reid 🇨🇦🧶🚴♀️🏊♀️@kathyreidknitter.bsky.social · 6h agoThis explains the new e-bike and scooter parking at the Meadows arc centre. Will see how many I see parked there on my bike rides City brings shared e-scooters, e-bikes to Mill Woods with pilot project www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
Picture 1: reported safety concerns Picture 2: the two speed tables that the city put in to respond to those concerns
A few anti-infill councillors defended golf courses as necessary because they had tax revenues of 2 million dollars.
Jacob Loo Dawang@jacobdawang.com · yesterday🧵 NEW POST: Edmonton’s $15M infill property tax dividend Matching permits to assessment data shows that small-scale infill from just 2024-26 will grow the tax base by $1.8B, and revenues by $15M. That's equivalent to a 0.7% property tax rate increase! #yegcc www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/pr...
I have no doubt that the UCP would step in. They don’t have values other than anger at those outside their tent. If progressive councillors were smart, they would use UCP interference as cover to go further. BE lost because of apparent UCP influence; conservative parties can’t hide from it now.

With the cancellation of 95 ave I’m left thinking about all we got out of the “100m” active transportation expansion. 🧵

Even in Canada, I fear that the key lessons politicians have “learned” from the pandemic is that it is less political trouble for them to let people die than it is to do what’s necessary to keep them alive.
Micah@rincewind.run · last wk.man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing
@shifter.info highlighted the difference between REV (Montreal) and Calgary. “Transit map vs plate of spaghetti” Here is a comparison with Edmonton #yegbike Our map looks like a confusing mess of disconnected routes.
Finished When the Clock Broke How our current politics of grievance were honed and manufactured during the 90s.
Sometimes I feel weird always drawing urbanism comparisons to Jamelle Bouie’s videos but this fits with our current situation #yegbike Edmonton has to learn that we have real opposition. We can’t compromise our way to vision zero
It's time for American liberals to have a little backbone

Knack seems to be moving towards free parking downtown. Prioritizing car access seems counterintuitive if you also want foot traffic and vibrancy. Make downtown a place worth going.
I have a few leftover ticket vouchers for the Riverhawks if anyone can use them. Looks like seats are only available on the bleachers.
Join us tonight for Bikes & Beverages tonight, from 5-7pm (at least)! We had to move the location to Arcadia - sorry about the last minute change and for any inconvenience. Details are here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/1989922917... #tegbike
A theme here is that if a person inside city government intervenes on behalf of a restaurant losing parking spots or a random driver getting a parking ticket, that's seen as constituent services. If another government insider works on behalf of keeping people alive, that's seen as advocacy.
StreetsblogMASS@mass.streetsblog.org · 2w agoA public records request reveals how @mayorwu.boston.gov's election-year "review" of transportation projects created a duplicate layer of authority inside City Hall that fomented confusion and stalled urgent safety initiatives: mass.streetsblog.org/2026/07/22/f...
It's today! Hope to see you there! #yeg #yegcc
Grow Together Edmonton@growtogetheryeg.bsky.social · 3w agoHow do we turn underused public land into affordable homes? Join us July 23, 7pm for a talk with Mark Richardson from @housingnowto.bsky.social on what's slowed progress on Toronto's surplus lands and what we can learn from it. #yegcc 📍 Stanley Milner Library, Inspiration Room 🎟️ luma.com/8lzkfix4
The NHL playing games on Boxing Day, competing with world junior games just feels wrong. It’s another step in NA sports obsession with extracting maximum revenue at expense of tradition and actual fandom..
142 footbridge is closed again. Did knack just cut the locks and open it himself last week? #yegbike
Ride cancelled 😭 Weather has been a bit more unpredictable as of late and being caught in sheet rain does not sound fun. See y'all next week!
Peace Avenue Bike Club@peaceavebike.bsky.social · 3w agoWednesday July 15 - Bridges & Hills Yo dawg, we heard you like bridges and climbs so we made a route with a bridge with a climb beside a bridge. All paved, a bit hilly, see you at 6:30PM.

The UCP will sell this as fixing something that is unpopular. Bike lanes are not unpopular in Edmonton. bike opposing candidate for mayor lost. bike opposing councillors lost to bike friendly incumbents. This is only an issue with a loud minority whose identity politics tells them it is…

The good thing about biking in the rain is finally being able to ride through puddles because you’re already soaked.
