Does anyone foresee a time when there is a SUP along 100 ave from 231st that would connect to the 178st or 163st SUP? It is a big missing link with a lot of potential.

Not sure I see that getting built anytime with the current sites restrictions and henday crossing.Does anyone foresee a time when there is a SUP along 100 ave from 231st that would connect to the 178st or 163st SUP? It is a big missing link with a lot of potential.
Does anyone on the north side want to take a photo of the 132 Ave complete street project's first phase progress? I imagine that with winter coming, they are getting close to complete.
We love to see more positive attention for Edmonton! I really think we need to push more and more of this as a city to outsiders. We don’t have the reputation of being an urbanist utopia, but there’s something to be said about the fact that we’re trying and actually forging ahead of our peers. The zoning bylaw for one should have the same effect for us.The youtube feature on Edmonton's active transportation investment gets released tomorrow (Oct. 11) at 7pm. - like the 132 Ave project above that is getting national and international play as will this production from Shifter (Tom Babin is a journalist), these things are only good for the city's image.
Here is the description.
What do you think is the most exciting bike city in North America? New York? Montreal? How about ... Edmonton?!
Yes, the northern Canadian city's council has just pledged $100M toward cycling over the next four years, which could be a massive improvement for everyone in the city.
But the question is how? At a time when bike advocates are struggling in so many cities to win investments from political leaders, what happened that enabled Edmonton to make this potentially transformative change?
When I received an invitation from Edmonton City Councillor Michael Janz to explore, I jumped at the opportunity.

Noooo! Lets keep our precious Edmonton to ourselves and lay low. They can all go to Calgary. Let us be known as Deadmonton.We love to see more positive attention for Edmonton!

Loving this attention on the city and I hope this gives us good rep out there!
I eagerly await similar videos from urbanists when we get our zoning bylaw done and upzone the entire city!
