New: Edmonton administration says it will need to decommission the High Level Bridge and Low Level Bridges. :o #yegcc pub-edmonton.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...

Really enjoyed working on this story about my stomping grounds! Mill Woods is awesome and will always hold a special spot in my heart.

#yegcc will sunset seven boards that advise it on issues ranging from climate change to military contributions to local history. edmonton.taproot.news/briefs/2026/...

Things get wild at Friday #yegcc meetings -- Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas was visiting chambers and Mayor Andrew Knack said that despite the Battle of Alberta he will "NOT be having a Heated Rivalry moment" with Farkas 😭😭😭

The Edmonton Riverhawks will trial a park-and-ride this summer with shuttles departing from Churchill Square as it prepares to lose some, or all, of its 2,500-spot parking area in 2027. Read more in Taproot's Business Roundup: edmonton.taproot.news/roundups/bus... #yeg #yegcc

Routes 8 and 4 are on time only 67% and 79% of the time on weekdays, according to the ETS route report card. The city said the full suite of changes planned for Whyte Avenue could halve delays at those intersections. #yeg #yegcc edmonton.taproot.news/news/2026/03...

RIP to a real one -- #yeg is removing the scramble crosswalks on Whyte Avenue We get into all the details on this week's episode of Speaking Municipally #yegcc speakingmunicipally.taprootedmonton.ca/349

yippeee!!!!!

Watching urban planning committee at #yegcc -- it feels like every single speaker so far has said something like "it's not just X, it's Y." Makes me wonder if ChatGPT speak is leaking into normal people talk, or if everyone is just using it to create their speaking notes.

On the agenda this week: Administration has considerably shrunk the Lewis Farms Rec Centre to keep it within budget, but is now asking #yegcc to approve an undisclosed budget increase to avoid even more shrinkage edmonton.taproot.news/news/2026/03...

We recently completed our second annual audience survey. Here's what we learned: blog.taprootpublishing.ca/2026/03/10/w... #yegmedia #yeg

Edmonton police Chief Warren Driechel travelled to Israel in February to meet with local Israeli police leaders, he confirmed in an exclusive interview with CityNews late Tuesday afternoon. More on his comments and reaction tomorrow. #yeg #Edmonton youtu.be/iyG-hngeJgE?...

TODAY'S THE BIG DAY!!!! #yegcc Taproot will have live results as they start coming in tonight. edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/results Mid-tomorrow, we SHOULD know who won. We'll post it on our website. Then Friday, we'll have a members-only livestream to debrief - considering supporting us to join!!

Something's been weighing on me and I need to confess. Yesterday when recording the pod, I compared Andrew Knack and Tim Cartmell to ... Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. This was shortsighted and extremely cringe. I apologize for being a theatre kid and I hope I can be forgiven.

An absolute BANGER article from Castanet and The Tyee about Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson -- I left Kamloops just before he was elected and watching his term from afar has been... interesting! Highly recommend this read for municipal nerds: www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop...

I noticed that a lot of the abandoned developments on the surface parking lots that surround Warehouse Park (opening soon!!) were starting to awaken, so I investigated. I found 800 new units across four 6-storey buildings are in the pipeline. #yegcc edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/09...

The Taproot Survey is LIVE NOW! #yegcc Take some time to answer 30 multiple choice questions and you'll get to see where the candidates stand on each issue. Tell your friends!

Voting for @stephanieswensrude.bsky.social

I imagine him getting tickets and throwing his hands up in the air like "If only there was a way for me to avoid these!!" $300-$400 a month is WILD. That could pay for a really nice vacation over the course of a year.

In "often-garbled responses" the elderly man told the AI bot that he'd had a stroke and was confused. "At no point did he express a desire to engage in romantic roleplay or initiate intimate physical contact." But that didn't stop the bot. www.reuters.com/investigates...

Hey Speaking Municipally listeners, I wanted to clarify something I said last ep. I was too harsh on the CityNews story about parking and infill. Lauren is an excellent reporter and she would never write an unfair, one-sided story, but I spoke as though she did edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/08/05/e...

Some Happy Beer Street brewers are working to establish an entertainment district. This piece includes one of my fav quotes I've been able to put in a story this year: “A year to crack a beer on 104 Street, that’s ridiculous" edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/06...

The municipal election is coming up fast. We've partnered up with @taprootedmonton.ca to understand what issues will be most important to you! Share your priorities: edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/questio... #yegbike #yegcc #yegvote #yeg

This is going to my personal "Beatles arriving in America" moment

Well this ruins my plans for a rager watch party on Oct. 20. edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/05...

"In a 20-hour stretch spanning parts of March 8 and 9, Smith’s office received 159 emails on the trip, or about one every 7 1/2 minutes on average, which were unanimously opposed to the appearance"

Coun. Andrew Knack just confirmed to reporters he is in the very early stages of considering a mayoral run, now that Sohi is out of the race #yegcc

Sohi dropping this post while we're all waiting for him to announce whether he's running again

Apparently Edmonton Police Service visited Albuquerque to share tips on addressing homelessness. #yegcc www.aol.com/albuquerque-...

EPL has directed staff to remove Pride flags from public areas within its branches, according to CSU52 #yegcc www.facebook.com/civicservice...

I did some digging and found out that it looks like the field in Commonwealth Stadium will soon be called "Play Alberta Field" - yes, after the gambling website. Expect an official announcement from the City of Edmonton later today. #yegcc edmonton.taproot.news/briefs/2025/...

The Prospects, Edmonton's WCBL team has rebranded to the ENERGY CITY CACTUS RATS I'm speechless

you can tell a lot about my mental state based on how often i google "does my cat know i love her"

Ooooh I highly recommend applying to this!!

Do you care about housing and journalism in Edmonton? Come to this event! On Wednesday Nov. 27, Taproot is hosting a conversation about housing. I hope to talk a bit about what I learned when reporting these stories ... TL;DR, housing is freaking complicated! lu.ma/2uamc928

I had a dream last night that I had to go on stage for Taylor Swift during the Eras Tour, and somehow I convinced the audience I was the real deal. Is my subconscious trying to tell me something about impostor syndrome

The Edmonton sky said “trans rights” for TDoR, today! 🏳️‍⚧️ The picture cannot do justice to how it actually looked, though.

Earlier this year AHS deleted its dedicated sexual health social media accounts, but said same types of sexual health awareness and education content would be shared on its main channels. Eight months later, it doesn't appear they've kept that commitment: www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/s...
