Yes the city can do better. The province has been aggressive in bringing more people to Alberta as well and Smith even threw out population numbers like 10 million people in the future. Funding right now is not matching growth and you hear that not just from municipalities but school boards...

I saw this on Twitter but I have no idea where Yeg Bike Coalition heard this info.

So 275 units planned with less than 100 parking spaces - that's quite the (minimal) ratio. Has their been any residential projects built with that low of a ratio?

So Edmonton hit 1 million people in about 2021. One forecast I saw has us at 1.5 million in 2035 and if 2% growth continues, we would surpass 2 million in 2049. Sure we will have more new neighbourhoods and exisilting ones fill in a bit more, but can we seriously hit 2 million without the...

Lots of interesting comments from Coun. Andrew Knack on Real Talk earlier this week. - We can't build our way out of congestion. This 'lefty progressive' council has still spent more on roads than any previous council by a large amount on a per year basis but also on other alternatives because...

Hope this is just a rumor as the plans for Wihkwentowin neighbourhood renewal were very impressive.

It's a good question and some people just aren't capable of taking help. A friend of mine had an adopted brother (he died as a result of AIDS 15 years ago from prostituting himself for money and sharing needles). He was young when he was adopted but was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and so...

The person I spoke to said the 2nd tower would be next and then the midrise connector would be last.

Great captures of the city and spoiler alert on the winners - locals! The two female wrestlers from the UofA are this seasons Amazing Race Canada champions. City looked nice and green. Good captures of river valley and a challenge involving all our sports team's mascots. Thought there might be...

Floorplans The 2 bedroom units have several spacious options. Will be interesting to see price points. https://livetheparks.com/floorplans/

And while the crossing arms were down.

What a sad story regarding that parkade stabbing last week - victim was here for studies. Such a strange story, too, in terms of what happened. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/edmonton-random-stabbing-parkade-sikh-community

On to 3rd floor now

These are stats for the month of May that I received today from the city's director of transit planning and ridership. In total there were 5.3million ETS riders in May and of that, 244,000 of that ridership used the valley line southeast - that represents 4.6% of total ridership. For May, that...

He's a good councillor. A very tough role he handles with integrity and class. Maybe his next endeavour, if political, is with NDP provincially.

Never knew there was a downtown stadium proposed back then.

Very modern - ties in with new LRT bridge. I like what I see other than the 6 lane roadway.

I was thinking crime is also worse in walkable communities in part because these are places people do have easier access to retail, amenities, public buildings as well as housing. Yes, in Glenora there is a grid, but there's also fewer targets of crime such retail like convenience stores (the...
