Wow! City was really slow to clear the cycle track on 2 St SW! This was at 4 PM today, way more than 24 hours after the snow stopped. What’s even stranger is the Calgary Public Library at 1221 2 St SW plowed all its sidewalk snow into the cycle track! #yycBike @natefor8.bsky.social

This intersection is the one i assume I will get hit in one day. Cars heading west on 32nd Avenue do not stop to turn right even when they have a red light & it's not much better for the cars heading east either. @djkelly.ca

Good Morning #yyc

Please note the multiple tracks from the native Snow snake, as nobody actually rides a bike in the winter.

Human population is 8.3 billion people, up from 2 billion a century ago. Don't panic because of falling birth rates.

Ok great, next do the same thing with electric bicycles. #yycBike

We are seeing an insufficient response to these tragedies from our municipal officials. At the bare minimum, I would have expected to see statements and indications of immediate action and direction from any member of council who ran on a traffic safety platform. #yyccc

Whoa @calgary.ca. Eight days ago, a driver struck and killed a toddler in a stroller in a marked crosswalk. The next day, the driver of a tractor trailer hit and killed a senior in a marked crosswalk. Those deaths come after a record 15 pedestrians were killed in 2025. And this is your message?! 😡😢

When people are being killed in marked crosswalks, and especially when one of them was a toddler being pushed in a stroller by their parents, the continued implication that the solution is a shared responsibility of “awareness” is pretty ridiculous.

Attended the Violet King park naming celebration today where a speaker mentioned that the community put out a petition to try to stop the Kings from moving here. Makes me wonder who we are missing out gaining in our community’s every time there is a call for letters against certain housing types?

Someday, Elbow Drive won’t have the longest playground zone in Calgary. That day will be when those in charge of Vision Zero are brave enough to make all residential streets 30km/h, to realize the goal. #Calgary #Sprawlcast podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

👍 Driving is a massive responsibility to take on. Walking is being human. Only one of these needs policing.

@captainshovel.bsky.social the superhero we all need today! Thanks for clearing our sidewalk! #yycbike

Horrifyingly, there have been two pedestrian fatalities *in marked crosswalks* in 24hrs in #yyc, including a toddler in a stroller. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We need to reign in oversized kid-killing cars. There are methods every level of government can pursue. Thanks to the @crashcoalition.bsky.social for this incredible report outlying why and how. Write your reps, get organized, make noise, save lives. www.communitybikewaysto.ca/oversized-da...

A Calgary man in his 70s and in a crosswalk was also killed this weekend by a driver operating a tractor trailer. "The incident is Calgary’s seventh traffic fatality in 2026 and the third involving a pedestrian." Mayday, #YYCCC www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hard to see how things will improve while @calgarypolice.bsky.social continues to suggest pedestrians in marked crosswalks share the blame for their own deaths. "I think it's a good reminder that as we're driving and as pedestrians we need to be aware of our surroundings." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Two posts from @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social in a row where Calgarians are dead, one being a two-year old, and both occurred in marked crosswalks. When in the holy hell are the authorities going to set punishments that will match the severity of these incidents?

The 56th pedestrian incident in 2026 happened on Feb 16 at 11:31. It took place at Panatella Hl and Panatella Boulevard NW in Panorama Hills. This was the 4th incident in ward 3 this year. #yyccc #yycwalk @yuleloveyyc.bsky.social

Have the police considered the stupid fucking height of the vehicle in question

The driver never saw the couple with their child in the stroller… because the modification the driver made prevented them from seeing anybody. How is this legal?

Road violence is a political choice. How much carnage will our leaders tolerate before they take drastic action? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The police say they will be looking into “environmental things”. How about looking into how little of this windshield was left to actually see through with all these accessories and decals were added! WTAF! #Calgary

The carnage continues on Calgary’s streets. 😔 #Calgary www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Being mobile in cities should not cost lives. Stop de Kindermoord! The driver of an SUV struck a toddler while turning into the intersection. Two adults were pushing the toddler in a stroller through a marked crossing. Neither was injured. The child died. #YYCCC www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can we also talk about the murder wagon the perp used to kill the baby. The front end on that vehicle is designed to kill people - and the cops ignore the modifications.

A toddler is dead in Calgary because we allow these jacked up SUVs with very minimal forward visibility. The drivers of these can’t see people in the crosswalk. When will these be banned? #Calgary

The City of Calgary carried out engagement promising two raised crosswalks on the 2/7th Ave street improvements but thus far the community has not seen them come to fruition.

The 52nd pedestrian incident in 2026 happened on Feb 15 at 15:47. It took place at Southbound 12 Street and 9 Avenue SE in Inglewood. This was the 4th incident in ward 9 this year. ##yyccc##yycwalk

Hey Calgary want to know a secret? If you want to see things improve in your community get your neighbors to place 311 requests asking for change. Issues with the most 311’s get priority.

By 5 PM on Feb 12, 2026, more than 1,000 people rode past this daily counter on the 5 St SW cycle track in Calgary. #Calgary #yycBike

The 50th pedestrian incident in 2026 happened on Feb 11 at 16:16. It took place at 114 Avenue and 35 Street SE in Shepard Industrial. This was the 2nd incident in ward 12 this year. ##yyccc##yycwalk

41 days into 2026 and we're at almost 50 people run down by cars. #calagary #roadsafety

You don't have to be going that fast to kill someone, especially in a big pickup. carsp.ca/en/news-and-...

The 45th pedestrian incident in 2026 happened on Feb 09 at 16:16. It took place at Southbound Centre Street at 6 Avenue SW in Downtown Commercial Core. This was the 7th incident in ward 7 this year. #yyccc #yycwalk @mykeatkinson.bsky.social

We could really use a major reduction in traffic and pedestrian fatalities in Calgary @calgary.ca @jeromyyyc.bsky.social

By 4:30 PM on Feb 9, 2026, almost 700 people rode past this daily counter on the 5 St SW cycle track in Calgary. It was +5C with 39% humidity. Calgary is a winter bicycling city! #Calgary #yycBike

#yyc 44 pedestrians have been hit in 2026 and this number is 19 hrs old cause CBC just reported on another one. When are we going to start fixing this with safer design?

#yeg now has $62M/yr of new revenue from mature neighbourhood infill compared to 2016. That's over $330M added to city coffers All using the same roads, pipes, preserving farmland and enabling neighbourhood-level shops. All of this is thanks to Edmonton's pioneering approach to urban redevelopment

It would be awesome if Calgary could implement a docked bike share system. Maybe a free fare zone wouldn’t be needed downtown if people could inexpensively rent a bike. 🤷‍♂️ youtu.be/qfz6AsYycA8?...

Why is there low usage of the 5 Ave NW painted bike lane? I went for a ride yesterday and maybe its b/c of the icebergs and 5 ton trucks? 🤷‍♂️ #yycBike
