142st Stony Pl Rd tracks 👀

I’d say there are more pressing issues to solve in our city (donut effect) than setting ourselves up for high volume transit from the city’s edges, a century from now [whatever public transit looks like then …who knows?]

A few from Glenora today

Again, why sweeten the pot and incentivize moving/living past Henday? (and pay $$$ extra to do so) If our inner core's pop. density was at capacity I could see the rationale, but we're nowhere near that.

Flaw or a tradeoff? The design we're getting: adds vibrancy to the core and mature neighbourhoods; 'high speed line' alternative: amplifies the ol' donut city effect...

"Political capital" might've taken a hit if we took the route of 'elevated & expensive' and spent 2x on LRT buildout. Not everything has to revolve around drivers' convenience, Edmonton.

To what end? So that we minimize impact on driving and induce more of it?

+ PoPo (foot / bike patrol)

Makes me wonder if that catastrophic flooding of the Revolution Cycle building (SPR & 150st) was accidental, or 'accidental'.

Could be inaction. Could also be: new opiates+ enabling + migration of addicts into the city (attracted by support & services). Or could be a bit from column A, a little from column B

It really is. 1. drug users assemblies & takeovers; 2. lack of vegetation. A terrible 3 block stretch

Someone tell Gunter that he called it: the bike lane infra pieces (which Jasper ave sadly had to get ripped up for) are all in place and ready for installation:

Aaargh, I see it there, top shelf: the crummy scone that was crumbly, stale, and overpriced. Gave it a shot when they just opened and haven’t been back. But, will check it out again 🤞

Update: rack’s been moved to the lobby. Still secure(-ish)
