    Old Strathcona / Whyte Avenue

    I dont want to be negative, but walked down the full length of Whyte Ave for the first time in quite a while and what a sorry state it seemed to have been in... possibly worst I've seen it since I've moved here. Litter and tags everywhere, tons of for lease signs

    Jorg Schlagheck's new video has on the Valley Line has some really nice aerial shots of the LRT in operation:

    Homelessness, Addiction and Mental Health

    Somewhere that doesn't further screw over already poorer neighbourhoods? Is it such a ridiculous ask that the burden be more evenly spread across the city and not just dumped on those with the least political power?

    Homelessness, Addiction and Mental Health

    Another day another story of the city dumping its problems on already struggling neighbourhoods.

    Arc Smart Fare System

    To start I'm only a hobbyist with regard to this sort of stuff, so I would recommend anyone take anything I say with a big ole grain of salt, but I would guess Vix is possibly pretty tied up in Amazon's specific technologies and tragically Amazon only operates the one location in Canada...

    Arc Smart Fare System

    I believe the issue is, unfortunately, that the actual IT infrastructure for ARC is based out of an Amazon Web Services facility in Montreal (can't say 100% the actual card scanning is handled in Montreal, but myarc.ca routes there, so seems like a fair bet). It takes time to relay data all the...

    Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

    I'll reserve final judgment for when I ride it myself (due to this effect possibly being at play in the video) and the fact that it seems surprisingly zippy through downtown from what I've seen, but speed's always been my biggest worry about this line. Seeing cars pass you while riding on brand...

    Boardwalk-Revillon Revitalization | ?m | 6s | Allied Properties REIT | DIALOG

    Looking good! Really amazed by how the bricks are looking on the Revillon side. North face of the building looking a bit less spectacular. And from above for good measure.

    Edmonton | Falcon Towers | 170m | 44s | Langham Developments | Arc Studio

    Classic example of a joke I thought. If all you say you care about is density around transit stations I'd say you're setting the bar too low in my opinion is all I meant by it.

    Edmonton | Falcon Towers | 170m | 44s | Langham Developments | Arc Studio

    Imagine the density we could get around transit stations if we just legalize slums! ;) I don't think its some horrible thing to want the city to use a modicum of its leverage to impose a higher standard of design and aesthetics on developers like Langham who'll always be looking to save a...

    Edmonton | Falcon Towers | 170m | 44s | Langham Developments | Arc Studio

    Give it ten years and it will develop a nice patina of dust and grime just like Omega, don't worry!

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Especially when Paths for People predicted exactly this issue if I recall. Putting down some green stripping in the bike lane might at least fix this in the summer months?

    Arc Smart Fare System

    I remember when I first moved here I bought like 6 tickets from one of these ticket machines expecting I could use them over the next week or two... I was very annoyed when they came out of the machine pre-stamped lol Good riddance to them.
