Whenever the TO press want to identify a small market team they will always say Winnipeg and Edmonton never Calgary or Ottawa or Buffalo There is this preconception of what Edmonton is and always has been.

I say this every single year, but can someone please explain to me why we do not do a major cleaning, power washing, bannering and overall tidy PRIOR to national and international media arriving for the Stanley Cup playoffs?
A few sweepers have been out, but generally the Downtown looks pretty bad still.
Do we simply not care? Is there no one leading this and ensuring that PRE-major events that this happens?
It's so disheartening.

It drives me crazy that sweepers are out in residential neighbourhoods, but DT is still waiting. It makes absolutely no sense. DT, Old Strathcona, and all major routes in and out of the city should be first.

It's unacceptable that BELMEAD gets their streets swept before downtown and Garneau tbh.

To be fair, BIAs are prioritized and Downtown has had one or two passes in some areas, but largely initial ones without sidewalks swept, blvds done etc.
We knew playoffs were coming and should have JUMPED all over key areas to make them look and feel great for visitors and game-goers, let alone NHL folks and media who continue to have reasons not to bring other NHL related events here due to how our city looks/feels.

But hey! Sidewalks on 50th Street that ZERO people use north of Argyle have been swept for 10days now
I have no skin the game since I don’t pay CoE taxes, but can’t someone on here email their DT councillor's?

^ this timeless post still nails it:
IMO the most frustrating is this should have been identified and highlighted as a priority by both Explore Edmonton and Edmonton Global... you know, the publicly funded orgs who have specific mandates to make our city more appealing to visitors, whether tourists or for business.

Part of the problem is there is really only one or two councillors downtown and one doesn't seem to be much of an advocate for it.
The rest don't really generally care that much or pay lip service to maintaining or improving downtown. Kind of explains how we got where we are.
