I was just thinking about the comparison with Vancouver. Could it just be that the entrances are too narrow/small in Edmonton, therefore they concentrate the undesirable behaviour in a tight space that is almost impossible to get around? When I use Broadway/Commercial in Vancouver, the busiest...

Two rezoning applications at Blatchford are going to public hearing March 11 essentially to allow more row housing to go in. Development is moving closer to the old terminal building.

In fairness, it was an outside observer who made the comment, not the police

Overbuilding is as much of a risk as being under ambitious. See Prince George airport in 2009. They expanded their runway to 11,400 feet for flights that never came. https://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/highlights/prince-george-airport-runway-nearing-end-of-its-lifespan-6675136 While the cargo...

Not that I really want to re-ignite the debate, but is the traffic lane necessary through that stretch of 108 St? I don't get through there very often, so there's probably some factor I'm missing.

I noticed two things from the excellent research: 1) the large increase in people living around stations in central Edmonton, far outstripping the growth of the city overall and 2) that the city should be automatically up zoning the areas around the stations. That's what the BC government has...

Tom at Shifter did an interesting video on Paris' cycle infrastructure transformation. There are lessons here for every North American city, including Edmonton.

Before anyone gets too excited about an additional runway, that is still decades away, according to the master plan: "The existing runway system provides sufficient capacity for the planning horizon of the Master Plan 2048. A parallel runway continues to be identified beyond the planning...

Doubling frequencies on the 747 service would also go a long way to solving that problem.

Having ridden the route many times with bags, there are 3 far cheaper improvements that would help tomorrow: - A better waiting area at YEG (I don't see why YEG couldn't invest in this) - Better frequency, especially off-peak (but doubling frequency all day would be helpful) - A much better stop...

Though there's no requirement in law, Parliamentary tradition and responsible government demand that anyone appointed to the Cabinet seek a seat at the earliest opportunity.

It's mentioned in the news release in post 2,291 with MCO and PHX called "summer extensions."

True, except UBC is even moreso - it's not in the city of Vancouver, doesn't have city police (RCMP patrol the campus and endowment lands) and the local elected representative sits on the regional government.

Plenty of interesting infill projects coming to council's next public hearing on February 20th: Redeveloping the remaining military barracks in Griesbach Four-storey buildings on two vacant lots in Alberta Avenue A four-storey building in McKernan A new tower at 103 Ave and 123 St in Oliver (or...

The nice thing about the ARC card is that ETS doesn't have to hire people to count people riding the bus (my brother used to do that) and wait for their report to see how routes are performing. The feedback is pretty much instantaneous.

The schedule shows 12 minute frequencies at peak and 20 minutes at midday, isn't that how the route has operated since it started?

AA has tried service to YEG at least twice in the past. I don't see them coming back.

Couldn't they just build the station on the outside of the tracks instead of centre-loading?

Actually, there still are monthly passes. Not sure why anyone would buy one, but they can be bought online.
