#yegcc #yegbike I’m sure we have some unused spaces underground downtown that could become public bike parking. A few cameras wired into one of the area security feeds and we could make downtown much more welcoming!

Would be a fucking great time to actually enforce the Canada Health Act. All of this is a choice.

why is there anti-homeless architecture in pokemon

Pardon my ignorance, but while helping those most sensitive to price changes is great, what about the rest of us? Those who are ineligible for the GST rebate? They still have to pay the inflated grocery prices with no assistance. The threshold for GST rebate hasn't been revisited has it?

THanks to everyone that came out this morning! We ran out of coffee at the High Level bridge, and there was a crowd assembled almost right at 7am! Don't forget that @ashleysalvador.bsky.social and @michaeljanz.bsky.social are both hosting booths this afternoon starting at 3:30!

Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey says bands who are afraid to speak out should look to them as proof that there’s nothing to fear. “We’re getting trashed, trolled, losing fans, and guess what, the water’s fine. Come on in. Nothing to be scared about. No one’s stepped to me in public yet.”

If you propose regulations on e-bikes/e-motos/mopeds/scooters and don't discuss any sort of infrastructure improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians or traffic calming measures for cars, then I will simply not take you seriously.

Who wants to be $1 that once the Kingsway SUP gets built, it will get redone at this exact spot due to light standard placement. I don't have wide bars but I don't think this is standard SUP width. #yegbike

Edmonton: Lower taxes! Infill (lowers costs), 🚲 lanes (reduce expensive 🚗 dependency). Also Edmonton: No, not like that. Edmonton: Make this city more vibrant! Infill brings people in to shrinking nhbds, including renters, just like vibrant cities like Montreal. Also Edmonton: No, not like that.

If you go two and a half weeks without using your car, why do you have a car?

🧵Don't have time to write an op-ed about infill, but here are my main points: 1) a significant portion of those against make claims that they aren't asked to support, and/or can't support, with facts; 2) those of us who support infill in mature communities remain largely voiceless in news reports;

Actively looking for a new job! I am a statistician/data analyst in Edmonton with experience in Machine Learning statistical methods, data modelling of all kinds, visualization and reporting, and more! SQL and R, decent Python and PowerShell, and otherwise a quick learner. Looking for hybrid/remote!

Sometimes I want reliable transit and safe bike lanes but I know that someday my kid is going to have to buy a car just to participate in society and they're going to be glad that I saved $72 in municipal taxes in 2026.

corridor zoning is bad policy! when @michaeljanz.bsky.social convinced me to come check out Edmonton & give talk that became my book 'building for people' - i was floored they allowed 5-6 story buildings off polluted arterials, and 6-8 plexes everywhere. edmonton was leading the US and canada.

Edmonton seems to be one big skating rink right now. SO many residential & public sidewalks are treacherous to walk, even with ice cleats. There’s not even salt or sand placed where it should be in many areas. Is this how we have to live in a winter city? #yeg #yegcc #yegwinter

Heads up #yegbike, winter is returning! Enjoy the nice weather this week before temps drop and snow falls again. The best way to do that is to join us and our friends for Winter Bike to Work Day! buff.ly/23M0P7P #yegevents #yeg

Check out @karambir1.bsky.social righteously repping renters at the committee hearings on the zoning bylaw amendment. globalnews.ca/video/116604...

The benefit of BRT is that it can be built quickly and affordably. We CANNOT let the city leave its bus rapid transit planning sitting for years, as riders stay stuck in traffic Admin says parts of the system could be operational by 2031 if funded this budget cycle. let's get it done

This is why I get mad seeing people be like "Oh why do we need the rainbow laces campaign" whenever the Premier League promotes it. This is why. It's sad that folks can't just do stuff like this publicly without fearing for their safety

In my book, it's morally bankrupt to make families with less money live on 30,000 cars per day roads.

As I always say, its easy to love your neighbours when you pick your neighbours. Divine law NIMBYism, my ass

This is absolutely true. Downtown isn't noisy (few people who live here drive everywhere) all the commuters though? Super noisy and many come here to race and rev their engines where their neighbours won't see or hear them.

Remember, if you are upset about street parking being taken up by those who don't have a private garage YET you don't yourself use your private garage, you are adding to the problem. Many homes in Edmonton have garages. Use your own space if you're upset about the lack of it on the PUBLIC street.

🧵 Good morning Edmonton. We're live from the council chambers where the Urban Planning Committee will debate reducing housing options. There are 60 speakers registered so there's a high chance this becomes two days. We'll be live posting so follow along to see how it goes!

Does anyone - ANYONE AT ALL - why Copilot exists? WHAT IS THIS FEATURE DO AND WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE IT GO AWAY EVERY SINGLE TIME

#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

“Effectively, when we approve neighbourhoods that we know operate at a net loss, we are approving future tax increases.” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n... TLDR: If you're against allowing established neighbourhoods to densify faster and with more intensity, here's an alternative way to grow.

I'm calling on Michael Janz and all other Edmonton city councillors to advocate for cheaper, less disruptive and more efficient public bike share infrastructure. For those living within a 10 - 30 minute walk from LRT stations it would make a huge difference. Ideally integrated with ETS passes.

Edmonton’s housing progress is at risk. 🚨 Next week, City Council considers a motion to roll back 8-home builds that made 2025 a record year. We need more housing options, not less. Tell council to protect housing progress. Send an email with our tool now! www.growtogetheryeg.com/email-council

Only two more sleeps until @silverskatefest.bsky.social, and we’re so excited! Edmonton’s longest-running winter festival is packed with 10 days of awesome fun. wintercityedmonton.ca/event/silver... #SilverSkate #WinterCity #YEGwinter

We're doing the dance again. Keep Edmonton the most affordable large city in Canada! Email council now 👇

I get the compromise behind a seasonal bike lane. Skeptics might be more open if it’s removed when least used. The problem: it makes it very difficult to build a culture of winter cycling. You reinforce the seasonal disparity. No winter lanes → no winter cyclists → no need for lanes in winter

🚨 ACTION ALERT This Monday, Council will consider undoing years of housing progress. Back up for debate is reducing the number of units permitted from 8 to 6. We need your help to push back. Email council now using our easy 30-second tool. 👇 www.growtogetheryeg.com/email-council

We were interviewed today about Wihkwentown neighbourhood renewal, check it out: edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2026/0... #yegbike

An Alberta county is apparently violating the Recall Act in order to assist the separatist petition and no, which county it is will absolutely not surprise you.

"The coal industry hired at least 14 government insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes, records show."

Cars hate this one trick #bikesky

Edmonton active transportation advocates want city to better tackle icy conditions on bike lanes

Doesn't seem to be available on Canada but that would be a very welcome feature!

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

Today marks the first time I've taken an ETS bus since 2020. It wasn't overly intentional but my bike usually gets me where I need/want to go. That freezing rain isn't going to stop me from brunching with friends 😤

You gotta know when to tap out. Called for a rescue while out with my bike. I knew freezing rain was on the forecast but it's bad out there. That is just ice on the seat.

Starting the early steps into the new role, while doing the current one and speed running the job description update. A description that hasn't been updated in probably 10 years. I made that role what it is today, I'll have to do the same with the new one.

Hey Edmonton friends, the plans for Wîhkwêntôwin's neighbourhood renewal are VERY good. Please help keep them that way (and ask for MORE) in the city's survey (ends Feb 8!). engaged.edmonton.ca/buildingwihk...

Some incredible sneckdowns to behold right now

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason." BC Premier David Eby not pulling any punches on how he characterizes Alberta's sovereignty leaders meeting with American officials.
