Oh, I hope so....

Fair enough. I just don't want to deal with it not actually beeping. And why doesn't it just, you know, beep if it's reading at that moment, like literally every other tap card?

The only issue I really have with Arc is that the tap on/off function is more awkward than basically any other tap card I've used. You often have to hold the card on the reader for a good second or two, which wastes time for impatient riders/drivers, and there's semi-regularly issues with even...

It's also been implemented in Europe.

Why is it not helpful that research shows it works? It sounds like you have a bias against them.

Are you suggesting that people who use drugs are problematic when they are given proper supports to succeed in society? That's what sites like this are aiming to do. If you want to stop seeing people in psychosis, acting erratic, etc, we need OPS, and not just all on one area. We don't need...

Basically you don’t want the poors cramping the vibe of our most successful urban neighbourhood?

What, not a fan of the neon flowers?

There’s 5 according to Google - St Albert - Newcastle - 104 St - Sherwood Park - Windermere

Anyone know when the lights on the CN logo are supposed to be working again?

Checked out Mercury Block today and wandered around the courtyard area. I have to say this is really well done and I can already envision this area being quite the spot come spring/summer. They did great nabbing a couple high profile local eateries and I’m hoping they manage to find some good...

It does feel a bit strange of a location for the park n' ride. If you live in Mill Woods, it seems a bit far, past existing LRT in Mill Woods, to drive to. If you live nearby in Avonmore and King Edward Park, you'd probably just walk to the nearest LRT stop. If you live in Hazeldean/Ritchie...

Avonmore could theoretically have the homes closest to the station demolished in favour of 4-8 storey apartments or condos. Like around 73rd and 83rd. Grey Nuns... yeah not unless those churches on the corner go. Maybe if some of those townhouse developments nearby get redeveloped but I doubt...

That's because it's relatively rare for new malls to get built in North America. The only one built in the Edmonton area in the 21st century is the Outlet Mall. Calgary, Vancouver, and Winnipeg have all each also built 1 new mall this century (all outlet malls). The existing mall traffic is...

They already goofed up the old CPR station when they let the endless ugly Fuzion condos get built, destroying the 81 Ave view corridor.

A bridge from the Windermere area to Big Island is the only other one I can think of if the province is still keen on turning Big Island into a provincial park. Maybe one from Belgravia to the Valley Zoo?

For me at least, this isn't about the morals of independents vs chains. While I understand the criticism, I do think the hatred of chains is sometimes a bit of a trite argument. Whyte Ave is mature and busy enough that it can support chains while still giving space for independents. I don't...
