Around 52:30 Knack talks about complete streets and the importance of continuous sidewalks/continuous crossings.

I’m already encouraging my friends and family to get behind Knack. He could be financially disadvantaged by not running as part of a political party, I think grassroots support, word of mouth, people reaching out to their social groups, etc will be necessary if he is to win.

Accessible and easy to understand data is a needed tool in the fight for active transportation advocacy, so I'm in full agreement with you that we need more accurate "trip" type data.

We got that Downtown data infographic in the Downtown Action Plan, so I'm hoping we get something for active transportation in the future.

Pedal Poll is happening June 3rd and 7th, sign up and do some counting if you can!

Anyone else wish they'd pave the desire path towards the old Keillor Road MUP next to the stroad heading to Fort Edmonton Park? (oops - posted this in the wrong thread originally!)

Agreed.

Probably worth sending this to Janz. It’s in his ward. He’s a big active transportation guy and I’m sure would send this to admin.

(Edit: I emailed Janz the picture and the suggestion for an MUP. Hope you don’t mind. )

That whole intersection near Fort Edmonton Park could probably be a lot better for active transport tbh, there are way too many lanes to cross to get to the trail on the Quesnell Bridge. I know Fox Drive is a major road, but those trails see a lot of use.

Desire path ? That's a desire highway!

I reported this in the missing links survey paths for people did. They’ve done a good job of helping the city prioritize areas that need sidewalks and MUPs added.

Hopefully this one gets done soon.

Careful, the UCP might want to re-open Keillor Road to traffic!

Gotta say, I’ve been so impressed with the bike network expansion (especially around Terwillegar Drive) that I’ve never been more motivated to buy a new bicycle (I haven’t owned one for 8 years). Induced demand, everyone!

I heard that city admin dealing with the bike network expansion is getting a lot of public abuse/messages and not much praise.

Tough sometimes to like your job.

2025 Summer Streets Routes​

This summer season, Summer Streets will be installed at the following routes, with some adjustments:

Victoria Park Road​

From 116 Street to River Valley Road
This route will be installed and active in June and then removed in July when the City begins construction of a permanent bike facility on Victoria Park Road as part of the Active Transportation Network Expansion Program.

104 Street Northbound​

From 83 Avenue to Saskatchewan Drive
This route will be shortened from University Avenue to 83 Avenue, to ensure travelers avoid the reconstruction work on 81 Avenue between 104 Street and Gateway Boulevard. This reconstruction project will create a vibrant pedestrian-first corridor and improve road safety for all users.

Saskatchewan Drive​

From west of 104 Street to 109 Street
No changes to this route.

Victoria Park Road​

From 116 Street to River Valley Road
This route will be installed and active in June and then removed in July when the City begins construction of a permanent bike facility on Victoria Park Road as part of the Active Transportation Network Expansion Program.

I'm confused. They're building a bike facility instead of a permanent MUP? Or are the City staff on drugs?

A good reminder than we should do our best to message encouragement and gratitude for good work being done cause it can actually make a big difference.

Literally half the positive comments on the glenwood renewal “what we heard” report are just mine haha. The supportive voices often aren’t motivated to speak out. But the negative ones sure do.

If there’s a new bike path open, go send a pic and say thanks to the active transportation email on the city website!

You encouraged me to send a positive email to the Active Transportation Team and City Council. Haha.
