New Blog! Our roads are heavily subsidized, often benefiting out-of-town drivers who don't pay local taxes. To fix this, the City is looking at a major parking overhaul to shift maintenance costs off property taxes and onto user fees. Do these updates strike the right "sweet spot"? Thoughts?

We are riding to support Cassie + Friends, a charity dedicated to helping children and families living with juvenile arthritis and other childhood rheumatic diseases. Join us on June 15 as we welcome Kira to #yeg, by riding with us or joining us at the finish line! www.eventbrite.ca/e/ride-with-...

If you're paying for parking, the city thinks you're a sucker. More population, more parking zones, more hours and yet fines and enforcement have PLUMMETED in the past decade. We don't need new parking rules. We need to enforce the ones on the books already.

As part of FCM 2026, I’m about to do an Ice Cream Study Tour, where Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack (blue shirt) is about to lead delegates on a tour of several established neighborhoods to show how these little shops and businesses have re-animated these communities.

#yeg needs Safe Mobility funding — but not a blank cheque. 10 years into #visionzero, deaths and serious injuries are rising much faster than traffic volumes. Council should fund safety, but demand data, better standards, stronger enforcement, and accountability. buff.ly/94omAna #yegbike

How many of them opted out of federal funding by not doing zoning reform going after the housing accelerator fund?

It always amazes me how consistently reporters and the police downplay when drivers kill someone. “Hit by a car”, “inadvertently hit by vehicle” and just the cherry on top mentioning that speed wasn’t a factor

The last thing we need to do is make maintenance and construction more expensive. People will constantly bring this up but council shouldn’t even entertain the idea.

CJSR is presenting the Real Sickies and The Mbira Renaissance Band at the Taste of Edmonton on Monday, July 20. It's free!!!! For more info & to buy your Taste of Edmonton tickets: tasteofedm.ca

#yegbike If any of you want to discuss vision zero and what to ask for at council come join some of yeg bike coalition at Arcadia 6pm this monday.

My complaint over a SUP that just ends (without even a curb cut) seemingly made it into the “what we heard” document of a nearby streets lab project.

Basically just a handout to gas station owners.

Solid lineup but no real headliner I’m dying to see. Might be a year where I skip the tarp run.

#yegbike You’re invited to our inaugural Bikes & Baseball event at the Riverhawks’ June 13th game! Join us for a short group ride from the Garneau Lamp or meet us at the game! Please purchase your ticket in section B, row 14 so we can sit together.

Brian’s heading to a downtown speakeasy! 🤫 Table Top Cafe is teaming up with PlayWright YEG for board game nights in their speakeasy library! Wednesdays in June, 6–9pm. Brian will bring & teach games. Free to play, + food + bevys from the PlayWright menu. Share and book via link in bio!

114 Ave renewal draft design, connecting Prince Rupert to the 127 St bike lane. It's... certainly better than the road without sidewalks that we have now, but they haven't done anything to improve intersection safety or shorten crossing distances! That's the main problem with this stretch!

Pedestrian hospitalized after hit-and-run

“You shouldn’t ride [on a SUP] because my dog is reactive and will bite people” is a new one for me #yegbike

People use bike lanes in Edmonton! I created a bluesky bot that will (hopefully) post daily counts of people on bikes going by the counters that are on bike lanes. Give it a follow! #YEGBike.

There was a huge lineup at the Bike Edmonton sale. This was right at open too so more people came after. There’s obviously a huge demand for bikes.

Alberta separatism is the endpoint of the right wing radio/podcast post-truth ecosystem: a vocal and violent minority trying to tear everything down out of a belief that being petty lords over rubble is preferable to the tyranny of bike lanes and public transit.

Checked out shortees in Rundle and lift me up on the lake in Hawrelak both are great! Both were great and it’s nice to be on a patio that’s not on a stroad.

Calgary has had a surprisingly strong response to the recent UCP nonsense. Would be nice to see similar public support from Knack.

Great to join Bike to Work Day and see so many Calgarians out riding. People should have the freedom to choose how they get around, whether that’s driving, transit, walking, or biking. Safe streets for our kids and families make every option work better.

Google Maps has an AI overview that you have to scroll past to see the hours of a business. Who thought that was a good idea? I don’t need AI to tell me that a pizza can be shared.

Think of all the good we could do with this money. Upgrade 2 intersections?

Rode around the newest neighbourhood on the front lines of the war on parking

#yegbike I don’t understand the active mobility team. Why add a new crosswalk on 149 st but not 142 st? 149 already has a crosswalk which fully stops traffic. At 142 you have to walk a few meters to a crosswalk that only has flashing yellow lights.

My bike to the train commute plan has been foiled by the trains being too busy for me to take my bike onto

Moron kills friendly bollard

NEW BLOG POST: Visualizing Alberta's switch to permanent daylight time. Later sunrises and later sunsets. But, what will that actually mean on the ground, on a daily basis during the winter? 👇 www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/al...

Almost 17 years ago, I was in Edmonton for 4 hours on my way to Grand Prairie. It's kind of wild that I was so close to where I live downtown today! Here's a smattering of photos I took at the time back in July 2009 having just turned 20 before landing. Notice the lack of bike lanes. #yeg #yegbike

Urbanism backlash in a nutshell

Vision zero should not be used to argue for road widening.

“War on cars” councillor. I guess the UCP could get a backup minister of transportation in case Dreeshen gets caught drinking on the job again.

Is it really engagement if you only talk to geriatrics?

my most reactionary political position is that Alberta needs to dramatically increase prison terms for certain forms of crime. specifically electoral corruption

Heads up, winter #yegbike commuters and other active transport users, there is an opportunity to share your experiences and suggestions with the city re: snow & ice and multimodal transportation in a new survey. Open until May 13. #yeg cityofedmonton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I’m not super impressed with the city turning service roads into bike ways. Hopefully they actually make the intersections safe. #yegbike are there recent examples of this design?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! New bollards spotted in Calgary! @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There is probably a strong correlation between high truck and RV loans and separatism support.
