    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    I recall being taught in driver's school to treat it as two lanes - a curb and travel lane, to stay closer to the centre line divider if in the travel lane, and make right turns from the curb lane/left turns from the travel lane. I think you and I are referring to the same thing with your...

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    And collector roads that are wide enough to accomodate street parking/have a curb lane but only have one central dividing line (technically two lanes going each direction). Much too wide, encourages speeding, and people treat is as if it's a single lane and swerve all over.

    https://edmontonjournal.com/news/north-edmonton-residents-baffled-by-improvements-to-neighbourhood-road *groan* Why do news outlets constantly run these types of stories against anything that remotely challenges the supremacy of the automobile?

    That is still ridiculously narrow even without a trailer or cargo bike.

    Car-Free Streets

    If only there were consequences for things such as illegal turns didn't involve getting hit by a train.

    Capital Line LRT

    Sent an e-mail suggesting a MUP to fill in the missing link between 9 Ave and 12 Ave NW and was pleasantly surprised when I received a response. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that they are able to fit it in? Shame, because crossing the tracks to continue south/north there will be annoying. If...

    Capital Line LRT

    Would have liked to see a sidewalk/MUP added to the east side of 111 St across from Twin Brooks station between 9 and 12 Ave to fill that missing link... especially now that crossing tracks will be required to continue on the path. If you're on the east side you can at least take Running Creek...

    Capital Line LRT

    Love seeing those slip lanes along 111 St south of 23 Ave going away.

    Yeah... I was also not enthused when I saw the first photo with sharrows and painted bike lanes. If that is going to be the solution for some areas I hope it would come with some other form of traffic calming because just slapping paint on the road is not a solution. The painted sections around...

    Edmonton | Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    Honestly I think many people have become ignorant to how dangerous driving is. Possibly a bad comparison, but I always think to when I have to use power equipment in that back room at work to move pallets that weigh 1000++ lbs. There are procedures I need to follow and I need to be...

    The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

    Surprisingly they've gotten faster at clearing it as the winter has gone on, which is nice. It took quite a while after the first substantial dump.

    They're keeping only the one crosswalk at the 167 St intersection and not adding another on the west side? Unfortunate.

    Could it be boundaries of separate contractors they use to clear the routes? Very frustrating. On the south side it's the same, certain portions of the same (mostly) continuous route get plowed at different time intervals.

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    I really hope we see more things being designed like the Dutch-style Hwy 1A & Benchlands Trail /Railway Ave intersection in Canmore (their long term plans seem to call for a few more intersections heading west on Railway ave to be designed in a similar manner -...

    Agreed, the separated bike lanes through neighborhoods that we've been seeing are usually pretty enjoyable rides without having to worry about higher traffic volumes (and all the fun that comes with that). I'd love to see more bike lanes like 83 Ave/102Ave/100 Ave/126 Street.
