That"s what happened in BC in 2017.

This is brutal. It's an airline/contractor issue and not the airport. Some airports will assign staff to jump in on occasion because no matter who is at fault, the airport ends up wearing it.

Unfortunately I didn't think to ask

I emailed with the chair about the inconsistent reporting/minutes/agenda online and she told me the person who did it so consistently a year ago left and they've struggled to keep their pages up to date since then.

The Edmonton Transit Service Advisory Board has finally updated its website and posted the ETS November branch highlight report including ridership data:

That is an interesting deal. I did wonder how much public subsidy was being put into this partnership. The link doesn't detail all the amounts, but just the public dollars on the table are $63 million over five years plus a per-passenger subsidy. Some of that is going to all airlines (fuel tax...

I daresay that many Dub projects are also the most eye-catching and true to their work projects in the city.

Calgary no longer has a real newsroom on weekends as a result of staff cuts (just a couple of reporters) so Edmonton does it all.

Based on the same presentation where AC announced the Max was being moved to Rouge, they released likely deployments for their new A321Neos that start joining the fleet next year, and Edmonton is among the destinations with YYC and YVR.

Late last week, Statistics Canada reported the October data for Canadian transit agencies, and it includes some pretty good numbers for ETS. From October 2023 to October 2024, monthly transit ridership rose 22.4% from 5,247,100 to 6,422,400, while revenues rose 5.8% in the same time frame to...

Interesting. Not a great selling point to get people to live on the street, though. At least, not people who value some quiet

I think you're right about Skinner. And the best players figure out how to double down as they age and take care of business in their own side of the ice first, then go score.

Looks like YEG will get 6x weekly AC 767 service in February.

Interesting point. Would it be realistic to restrict traffic to service vehicles at certain hours?

It has been this way for a century (or more). My dad grew up in Norwood in the 30s and 40s and has resented the south side his whole life (even though he has lived in Cincinnati for more than a decade) :D

For anyone who is curious, here is the excellent presentation by M. Amerongen to the Urban Planning Committee on Nov. 26. He's well spoken, measured, and his video tell the story. It's five minutes and I'm sorry about the terrible audio, but it's worth the watch.

If only there were a regional transit service where all municipalities contributed and set priorities. Man, Edmonton would really benefit from that. Oh wait...

Probably a lot more politically expedient to make the bike infrastructure MUPs rather than risk the ire of drivers.

I disagree. That game last night was a battle, there was nothing boring about it. No one could take a shift off - it's exactly the kind of game you expect in the playoffs. As for the goal - Skinner was playing the pass across where the puck was going before it came back to the passer. A bit of...
