Hope the project makes it to completion from 14 St (MUP east of Crowchild) to 37th St.

It's too bad the province may be coming for them - but 26th Ave between Crowchild & 37th is looking really good. The City is putting in a first class permanent concrete-curb separated #yycbike lanes (replacing existing decade-old painted lanes w/ little/no impact to vehicle lanes or parking).

Here is my best attempt. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/plain-chea...

UCP getting ready to flood the field again. Big uproar over bike infrastructure at the same time they are proposing to gerrymander ridings.

hey look. rick bell frothing at the mouth about bike lanes. must be a day that ends in "day"

This is about half of what Calgary’s entire downtown bike grid cost

Breaking news from Calgary city hall this aft. @livewirecalgary.bsky.social has the story: "The panel chair was paid roughly $1.8 million of the $2.3 million invoiced for the project. Chair Kiefer was paid an hourly rate for the bulk of that payment..." #yyccc

BOO 👻 This Friday, we'll be ending our ride at the West Confederation Park Fire Pit 🔥 The route will have a couple hills to warm us up. Don't forget to bring lights and to dress up and dress warm! See you soon #yycbike

I bet @thebreakdownab.bsky.social that the govt would not go this far with the electoral boundaries map. It appears that I was wrong, now i owe Nate a beer. I have no issue buying Nate a beer, but it is extremely sad about why I have to do it.

Let me bring some clarity to this: In June 2025, UCP Cabinet Minister tipped me off that Danielle Smith was actively collaborating with separatists on filing of a petition under soon to be custom drafted rules for them. This prompted me to preempt them under the existing rules.

The Breakdown AB@thebreakdownab.bsky.social · yesterday

WOW! The Rath texts are real. Smith colluded with the separatists. Confirmed by Dani in the legislature today. And while she tried to spin them as just answering questions, she also makes it clear the texts weren't meant for Lukaszuk. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Every single train and plane crash is international news. Yet 3250 people will die by cars today... and every other day... and nobody seems to care.

I roll through this intersection on days I bike (not today) and am not surprised. So many vehicles all in a hurry, all the time. It is the one intersection I dread every time. #yycbike

The 395th pedestrian incident in 2026 happened on Oct 28 at 07:50. It took place at 130 Avenue at Douglasdale Boulevard SE in Douglasdale/Glen. This was the 25th incident in ward 11 this year. #yyccc #yycwalk

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

A quick couple of days zoo pathway closure to install an outfall monitoring device. Signage on the path says it starts tomorrow, pathway was open early this morning. #yycbike

Yet another reminder for all those out there sporting “I ❤️ oil and gas” shirts and bumper stickers that it doesn’t ❤️ you back.

The US owns more than 60% of the oil sands.

"24 St SW Pathway & Quarry Trail" closure is extended from today to Nov 1. For the entire closure period (Aug 25) there has been 4 days(?) requiring full closure at the bottom. Given how many use this corridor, accommodation for a secure detour around the perimeter could have been provided. #yycbike

All pretty Ontario/Lower Mainland wintery out there (86% humidity ugh), but the MUPs are fine, just mind those bridge decks, got a little spin coming up to the pedestrian bridge going into Prince’s Island #yycbike

It would be nice if news headlines/reports stopped saying “BC Conservatives win first majority in a century” when the BC Liberals and Socreds won plenty of majorities and were, you know, conservative.

Two summers of free admission followed by laying off 500 workers is not cool.

As the count continues, we are getting a clearer picture of the results from Monday's AB referendum: 1. Separation was trounced 2. No real mandate on the heavily pushed Q1-9 Big picture: the Urban-Rural divide Cgy+Edm voted No on all questions Rest of Alberta (combined) voted Yes

No rest for weary democrats in Alberta this week. Next up: pushing back against gerrymandering. Here's my latest on what it is, why we should care, and what we can do about it. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/plain-chea...

Smith declaring the UCP is a pro-Canada party, only after the referendum results are posted, makes me want to 🤮

Albertans should be furious about this. Danielle Smith: 1) Lowered the threshold for signatures on a petition 2) Extended the duration in which they could be collected 3) Continues to pretend the people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a referendum Shameless.

Today was a day of car based errands so I found myself on Glenmore Trail at the unfortunate time of 5pm. 3+ lanes of westbound traffic from Blackfoot Trail to Sarcee Trail and seldomly got up to 30km/h yet not a bike lane in sight to blame. 🤔

Let's not forget the money and time that was wasted on this referendum. Gerrymandering of urban ridings, to dilute "big city" opposition to this government, is up next for this inept government along with Doug Ford style attacks on wheeling infrastructure. The fight is not over. #yyc #yeg #abpoli

"Is it nice out?" is the question that recreational cyclists ask. "Is it safe?" is the question that utility cyclists ask.

If I hear anymore mention of Jeffrey Rath after today’s vote, it better be news that his fat ass is going to jail.

New #yycbike pathway detour from north side of Edworthy out to Bowness Rd/Shaganappi Tr intersection.

Feeling awful for Bike Toronto so I rode the new sections of pathway on 26th Ave SW and when they ran out - I took the lane. No bike path means I’m in your way! #solidarity #takethelane #yycbike #yyc
