Such a weird rhetoric that Edmonton is "falling behind", and that significant change in council is how we catch back up We have made so many moves in the past 4 years to reduce our infrastructure debt, get transit to new area, modernize zoning and development Like I don't get the mindset here

If we want public transit to succeed, we need to vote for it 🗳 🚌 The Transit Rider’s Election Guide 🚈 compiles information on public transit from candidates' platforms, to help you make an informed decision when you go to vote edmontontransitriders.org/election-gui... #yegcc #yegcc #yegtransit

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Full house last night at the Westridge candidates forum! Great questions, great turnout, wonderful format of a forum + info booth for more conversations. If you missed it, learn more about me + my platform: www.gisellegeneral.ca #yegCC #yegVote #EdmontonElections2025

I got to E Bike up McDougall Hill today and it was completely empty! Low Level NB was closed for construction and it was so nice

Anyone know why the barriers were taken off 100st south of 83rd? It looked nearly done a few days ago???

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

it’s been pretty remarkable to see how almost every single Republican politician is basically just a fascist waiting for a pretext to embrace a dictatorship

How the federal government funds public transit has changed with the Canada Public Transit Fund. The Baseline stream funding could unlock $16.4 million every single year for upgrading and maintaining Edmonton's transit system. #yegcc #yeglrt #yegtransit

Hey @yegbike.bsky.social They finally finished the 23rd ave expansion between 85st and 50st. Video as promised.

What is it about old people and just leaving their computer on 24/7?

We had a great time today talking with transit riders outside of the Old Strathcona Farmers Market! There was a lot of excitement for the city’s BRT plans, ideas for improvements to communications and wayfinding, and discussion on fare payment changes. #yegtransit #yegcc #yeglrt

Wait OSFM is complaining about $8 for parking???? I saw the sign and thought $8 was a bit steep PER HOUR, but $8 and I get to park here all day basically???

Wait so are we having a runoff for mayor this election? I thought that was part of the changes but haven’t heard anything about it so far

Three towers of Sen̓áḵw (phase 1) rising above Kits 6 Reserve as reclaimed by the Squamish Nation near downtown Vancouver. senakw.com/place Here emerging from trees on the Parkview Tower lot at the foot of the Burrard Bridge nearby (also formerly part of Kits 6). 1/

I know we tried with Blatchford and it didn't workout, but I really think a streetcar running through the Expo Lands connecting the east side of the site to the LRT Stations would do so well

I wouldn't be the most upset if all the Expo Lands north of 118th were left bare for major events like K-Days (and ideally other stuff) As much as infill neighbourhoods are amazing, sometimes we just need big stretches of concrete, and keeping that one allows us to build on the southern half easier

We talk to a lot of transit riders around the city, and one thing we hear no matter where we go is that Coliseum Station is not a fun place to wait for a train or bus. #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

Fucking over future generations of residents in your neighbourhood to try and keep one of Edmonton's richer neighbourhoods exclusive is a choice While I am less concerned about covenants for overall supply, it is concerning that rich people wanna segregate themselves www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

The fix is in for gerrymandering the Lethbridge West constituency out of existence. They can’t win it fair and square so now they’ll cheat. It’s highly unusual for a member of cabinet to intervene in an electoral boundaries process. open.substack.com/pub/davebert...

Job interview tomorrow and I hope I still have a voice after screaming at the Riverhawks game

Absolutely never see a sign like this, idk if I would make the same decision, but I really like if

Woooooooo!!!!!!! So excited for Division Finals!!

So much Riverhawks merch at Folk Fest today, like easily more than Oilers

If the West Coast League was cool, semi and grand final games wouldn’t be determined by win percentage, but by average attendance Yes that would mean the Riverhawks get all the games, and yes I am biased

Parties, slates, and the upcoming vote. edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/08...

Riverhawks should do the thing they did with Green Onion Cakes, but be called the Edmonton Meatballs, with Marvin as their mascot

Only think that would make the Riverhawks better would be a team in Calgary to beat

Doing a deep dive into the Energy City Cactus Rats baseball team and their stadium. First off, this EDIFY piece calls a diamond on the edge of Spruce Grove with 1/3 the seating a "step up" from Re/Max... insane, Re/Max is one of the best stadiums I can think of edifyedmonton.com/urban/struct...

Wait I just learnt where these two are, and in 3 years I am definitely considering checking if a unit is available in one of these -Close to LRT -right beside a grocery store -easy access to the River Valley I can see why there is so much demand to live there

I will never out myself in the position to be actually hit by a car, but I will get close enough so that the driver knows they fucked up

Parking minimums are one of the most damaging urban policies we can have Edmonton is excelling in changing its built form in the private realm, but we are not letting our transportation networks or public realm keep pace, meaning neighbourhoods are denser but they are still incentivized to use cars

on top of the expanding transit system, the growing bike network - edmonton is also the most affordable big city in this country, thanks in part to multi-unit housing being permitted everywhere as of last year. edmonton is transforming itself on all fronts 🥰 someone call the ref, this is unfair 😭

Bus rapid transit is affordable and quick to install, and can massively improve the speed, reliability, and accessibility of our transit system... that is if we actually commit to getting it done #yegcc #yegtransit #yeglrt

The headline "Can San Francisco Be Saved?" (as though it could be lost) captures how even a publication as rational as @theatlantic.com feels obliged to cater to "urban doom loop" vibes. Big cities are natural engines of prosperity. They do not need "saving." 1/

Let’s goooo

We could just start building main streets again right now, all it would take for a first step is moving the setback of all neighbourhood commercial and general commercial zones down to 3m Yes developers will complain about parking, but just cause people complain doesn’t mean they’re right

A quick clip comparing Edmonton's LRT ridership to American systems from the new @nerd4cities.bsky.social video Be sure to check out the rest of the great video on our city at: youtu.be/vlAVDMBGxKY?...

Canada has dramatically higher transit modeshare than the US is something people clearly need to hear much more often.

Walked to The Stacks at Buzzard Point in DC. Probably one of the most beautiful new housing projects in the city, but still feels so isolated & empty right now. Basically still its own secluded neighborhood surrounded by Audi Stadium and some vacant-or-not-busy industrial & commercial stuff

A few weeks late, but offering to make up for making our zoning bylaw more restrictive with faster priority growth areas timelines is not bad, but I am concerned with thinking that markets for ground oriented units and multifamily units are replaceable 1 to 1

Amazing job opportunity at the Government of Alberta if anyone is interested

I thought finding an upgrade to Ravi Kahlon would be impossible, but Eby managed to find one with Christina Boyle

Riverdale being a Lime no parking zone is so annoying, like I wanna visit DogPatch

DC E tier is unacceptable MN’s flag is great! But I don’t trust their judgement now

The other day, I was telling friends and family how a housewife originated these Tokyo Metro transfer and exit guides, and they thought I was kidding. It used to be a well-known story. If you don't know it, here's a quick summary.
