Just me or did nobody have Michael Walters running for mayor on their radar?

I am now realizing I don't know at all what he's been up to since exiting city council. Guess that's what I'll be reading up on while my jet-lag wakes me up at 4am 😅

“Given what we’ve been seeing on our streets, given the surge in fatalities, I do think the province needs to reconsider their approach,” ‪@ashleysalvador.bsky.social‬ said. “(#Photoradar) is a known tool that is backed up by data and evidence to help support traffic safety as part of a larger suite of tools."

"Value-per-acre analysis is powerful because it reveals what raw numbers often miss: how efficiently #land contributes to a community’s #financial #health. It doesn’t tell #cities what to build or where to build it. But it helps communities see which investments generate lasting #value, and which ones may quietly drain #resources over time."

@mplsfietser.bike And the article has another added problem, a view held by adults who drive, which is characterizing childrens' use of #bikes as a "pastime," rather than as a way for even a youngster to be independent as they go to a job, or to school, or to visit a friend--ie, as necessary transportation! I sense this opinion also bleeding out into a ready dismissal of adults who bike: "certainly they must be playing at it!!" 😦

That some #yegcc members wanted to tidy up contentious matters on Monday so they could skip out to summer vacation early and not actually finish the sechduled week but instead go down south to the Calgary Stampede sounds kinda treasonous frankly

Yes, this is the right way to go: "The council report, which is public, notes that the updated standards will require collector roadways (those connecting local streets to arterial roads) to have traffic-calming measures and a shared-use path on one side."

David Mitchell :CApride:

There have been lots of complaints about new traffic calming and active transport improvements in my neighbourhood in northeast Edmonton: speed limit reduction to 40kph, separated bike lanes, narrowed driving lanes.

I caught a little factoid recently that demonstrates the need: in 2023 before the roadwork only 9% of traffic on 40St complied with the speed limit. Thanks to bad road design and a ridiculous sense of driver entitlement:

**! 93% !** of drivers sped through.
