Reversing course from its January vote, council opted to expand the pilot beyond the 47 picnic sites in river valley parks last year.

Louise McKinney Park - looks like some rework is getting done after the last few years of LRT construction

this is a really under-rated and under-utilized park. Hoping the quarters and more active transportation development can bring it the love it deserves!

It's one of my favourites on a nice day because of how quiet it is and how you can have your own little piece without interruption.

Edmonton just scored $6.7M from Ottawa. These are the 27 projects getting the green light
Alberta's capital will soon have new tennis courts, better outdoor hockey rinks and new patio spaces in Ice District – as part of 27 projects aimed at improving community spaces.
124 Street and Area Business Association – $124,739
Upgrade the 124 Street area and Helen Nolan Park with upgraded lighting and installation of structural fixtures to enhance community engagement.

I didn't snag a picture, but the brand new sidewalks on 102 Ave are already getting stained with rust from the tactile pavement at the corners... I have no idea why proper non-rusting tactile bumps weren't installed? My hometown's had these things for years and I've never seen them do this. How on Earth does Edmonton keep messing this sort of simple stuff up?

If only we used things like that for the LRT system, then maybe they'd know what to order. Oh wait...

Took a picture. Looked even worse when it was wet outside this morning. It really is funny because the platform is like right there and looks so much better.
Is it supposed to patina over time or something and look better or something?

Brand new sidewalks and paths never look right until they're aged in a few years anyways. They're just speeding up the process!
