If we can't have red light or speed cameras, and we can't have other types of law enforcement, then we need really great infrastructure that keeps everyone, including people in cars, safe from drivers who break the law. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

An absolutely gut-wrenching reminder that painted door zone bike lanes = bad infrastructure.

#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

It is always funny to see drivers argue that construction and congestion are excuses for unsafe driving, like speeding and running red lights. Maybe people with such poor emotional regulation should not be driving 2000+ lb vehicles if that is how they take out their frustrations? #yegbike #yeg

I’m down with this sentiment.

Very telling that our two-way, separated bike lanes are consistently within the top 5 for bike counter statistics. #yegbike

The City of Edmonton should take notes from this (see: neighbourhood roads near LRT construction). Pretty sick of my local bike routes being ruined by speeding, shortcutting SUVs. #yegbike #yeg youtu.be/0ZFp6xMPVnk?...

Good to see the new Victoria Park Rd bike lane in use this weekend! The river valley trail connection w/ Ezio Faraone/High Level Bridge is still awkward, as you need to take the narrow sidewalk/SUP to get on it unless you lift your bike over the guard rail. Hoping improvements to come... #yegbike

Nothing better. (sound on!) #yegbike #yeg

14,303 on the bike counters yesterday! 👏👏

Nice to see that the city’s response to a broken glass report on a MUP is “k thanks, the sweepers can get it when they get to it” (and no, it’s not a location where I could easily sweep it up myself). 🫠 #yeg #yegbike

Here's the anticipate sched. There will be a presser at 1pm. Wow. This marks the beginning of a HUGE change to the way we get around the city, not to mention the historical value of the bridges.

People: it's outrageous that my local council can't fix all the potholes. Also people: I'm driving around in a very heavy SUV, parking on pavements and I want to pay less tax, not more.

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.

Anyone else just think of tailwind they could ride with when they see wind warnings like the one today? 🥲 #yegbike #yegwx

What is it with drivers in this city pulling out of parallel street parking without even looking or signalling? As if worrying about getting doored isn't enough. 🙄 #yegbike #yeg

Sadly, I’m not at all surprised at this, since it was unlikely that Alberta’s awful Premier would let Ontario’s awful premier hold the title for “leader most likely to endanger people, make traffic congestion worse, & hurt the success of cities, all to score dumb ideological points with their base.”

Shameless and blatant “flood the zone with shit” distraction attempt by this government, given recent other things in the news cycle. I hope Albertans can see through this attempt to use vulnerable road users to score cheap political points. #yegbike #yeg

Streets were just swept, and neighbours are using their leaf blowers to blow their yard waste onto the road. #yeg #yegbike

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_...

132 Avenue-esque bike infrastructure, but deep in southern suburbia on a recently constructed road. Colour me a bit impressed. #yegbike #yeg

Thinking (hoping) that most of the snow should be gone by mid-week: sun-affected and shovelled paths already clear, but shaded/uncleared SUPs are hard packed and will probably be sketchy for a few days. Doubt that they’ll be cleared, but open to being surprised. Most roads also bare by now. #yegbike

Interesting how the "neighbourhood character" argument never comes up with some of these rebuilds. #yeg

The same houses that I pass daily who never lifted a finger to shovel their walks all winter have also disregarded the street sweeping parking ban. 🧐 #yeg #yegbike

Yup. #yegbike #yeg

It would be just great if #yeg drivers could wait until I clear the intersection before creeping their multi thousand pound-heavy SUVs forward at me. #yegbike

Well, my bike and panniers turned into popsicles, but still a pleasant ride today. #yegbike #yeg

Can you help us identify 1924 Austrian Olympic wrestler Adolf Herschmann? 🇦🇹 #teamAUT #OlympicTeamAustria #olympics #Paris1924 lostathletes.wordpress.com/2026/04/10/a...

If you didn't already think that our city driving culture was absolutely cooked, look no further than the person on the Edmonton subreddit arguing that exceeding the speed limit by 80km/hr is "probably safer" than going 80kmph on the Anthony Henday Drive during rush hour. 🤡 #yeg #yegbike

Can you help with our research into these four 1920 British Olympians? #olympics #TeamGB #Antwerp1920 lostathletes.wordpress.com/2026/03/28/1...

Made a 311 complaint about a parked vehicle completely blocking a crosswalk ramp 5 days ago, and it still hasn’t been actioned. In case you’re wondering why so many people shamelessly illegally park in this city. #yegbike #yeg

An illustration of differences in snow clearing standards, contractor-maintained (Capital Line LRT expansion) vs. city-maintained… on the same stretch of pathway. We can do better. #yeg #yegbike

Hello, paint is not infrastructure. These painted bike lanes are directly in the door zone, w/ parked cars blocking visibility to a parking lot entrance and are straight up dangerous. People also routinely ignore the mandated right turn to go straight, around people queing to turn. #yeg #yegbike

Refrozen slush/ice ruts with a skiff of snow on top. Not ideal. #yegbike #yeg

I’m gonna need someone to talk me out of bringing out the summer bike this week. 🫣 #yegbike #yeg

For how progressive r/Edmonton can be, all you have to do is post about having to walk on icy sidewalks or inadequate bike detours for the carbrains to flock and tell you to "deal with it". #yegbike #yeg

#yegbike conditions on 76 Ave are actually quite good, save for the area near the fire station. 83 Ave and 110 Street also good, though I fear that the windrow covering more than half of the NB lane in some areas is going to cause some isues when it begins melting.

As if the comical width of this neighbourhood crosswalk isn’t enough of a middle finger to pedestrians, apparently the City finds it acceptable to leave snow unplowed like this for half a month while the driving lanes remain bare. #yeg #yegbike #yegwalk

So, Ledcor has done a great job w/ active transport detours for the Capital Line LRT work, but there is something very unnerving being this close to the road, with no separation in lots of spots. Esp when 90% of vehicles are speeding through the construction zone at any given time. #yeg #yegbike

One day later, hard packed roads are in prime condition, and lots of residential walks are cleared, so riding is possible if you don’t mind hopping back and forth between the two. Uncleared city paths are barely even walkable, though. #yegbike #yeg

Didn’t ride today, but after a run, I can report that the snow drifts+accumulation is really bad. Luckily, I don’t need to ride this week, but if your route consists of a lot of 72h clearing schedule paths, you might be frustrated until next Monday. #yegbike #yeg

But at least they saved the street parking. #yegbike #yeg

In a 15km ride today, I saw at least 8 vehicles parked blatantly illegally, completely/partially blocking crosswalks, or on the sidewalk. CMV: It’s not ignorance, it’s entitlement, because they know they can get away with it over and over again. #yeg #yegbike

Why am I riding/walking on the (bare pavement) road, you ask? #yeg #yegbike

Anyone else close to grabbing a block of ice from the nearest windrow before crossing the street to wield in hand because they are sick of almost getting hit daily by speeding drivers in their neighbourhood? #yeg #yegbike

I really just don’t get it. One side of the crosswalk was plowed, as well as both walks leading up on both sides, but the curb ramp they they said eh, screw it? We waited 3 days for this? #yegsnowstories #yeg

It’s wild that we entrust such a large portion of our population to control multi-thousand pound motor vehicles, yet such a significant portion of them can’t even be arsed to flick their wrist 2cm to use a turn signal for the benefit of others around them. #yeg #yegbike

Another exhibit of why a quicker response (from the 72 hr norm) to active path clearing after significant snowfall is needed. Imagine if someone with reduced mobility needed to use bus stop in one of these photos? #yeg #yegbike

#yegbike report extrapolated from a daily run in my SW ngbhood: Side roads - ✅ nicely packed Residential walks - ✅ >80% shovelled City-maintained walks (72h standard) - ❌ absolutely abysmal, impassable. Safer to walk on the road. Walking a bike would be extremely difficult. #yeg #yegsnowstories
