I believe the building is in super rough shape, like it has to get torn down level of hurting.

Stale red light running in Calgary has become rampant in the last few years. But yes, radar the bikes on the pathway instead...

Having just been in Montreal and Toronto I am now firmly on the side of dock system bike share versus the free for all system we have here. #yycbike

Apparently the neighborhood has gone to shit. So say those that have lived here longer than others. That makes it factual right? 🫠

Banksy and Barbie in Old Town Toronto.
A brick alleyway, in the bottom left along the all is a Banksy art piece. Above it a big pink B Barbie logo and a roller rink in hues of pink and blue set up next to it. Banksy art piece featuring an adult standing with a child in a side embrace, their backs to us. Another man to the right looks in the same direction they are facing.

That would be really cool, but I think it would need a developer/landlord to be on board. Which could be hard to find. I’d settle for smaller retail bays instead of the big the ones that just cost too much to operate out of, and all we end up with are chains as a result.

Have you seen them actually stop one of them yet? In the first week I noticed enforcement I only saw them pull over an e-unicycle rider. Every other time it has been an acoustic bike rider.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Harry Sanders, known to Calgarians for many years as "Harry the Historian", former Calgary Historian Laureate, who has passed away this past weekend. May his memory be a blessing. #yyc #yycheritage #heritageyyc

Yeah, but in this situation most cars were parked legally and on a street where over 90% of the homes have a garage...le sigh.

Yes! I noticed the cilantro smell on that stretch last year. Only started smelling it again a week or two ago. Brings a smile to my face.

Yes, the barrier is done. That is a fact. Also, go ahead and do the river surf spot, the short term pathway pain will be worth gaining a unique attraction.

The barrier is done, everything now is landscaping/pathway work.

Aaron @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Because it's a busy piece of pathway in the nice weather. Not sure what it was like at your time, but afternoons around 4pm it's messy and despite it being a separate lane I've witnessed plenty of mode mixing between it and the ped pathway next to it.

Aaron @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
They were set up in those Olympic pillars, and speed checking to the east and west of that spot. It's a messy mixing area with all sorts around, even though it's a bike lane to the east of that spot I wouldn't be flying through there at certain times of day, just too busy and chaotic.

Aaron @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
I know where they were, they've been set up there multiple times in the last couple of weeks. Saw them with at least one e-unicycle pulled over the one day.

Yikes! I have often wondered what I would do riding around that area of the zoo in the early morning if by some chance I came face to face on the pathway with one of their resident bears. New fear unlocked? #yycbike

So this blew up on the bluesky algo. In addition to giant trucks we also have lots of great garage door murals in the neighbourhood.

Took this while having a coffee this morning. 3rd avenue and 10th street in the Sunnyside neighbourhood of Calgary. Sadly, not AI.

Ugh.
A giant lifted black pickup truck, stopped on the crosswalk while an eldery lady in a blue coat crosses the street in front of it. The top of her head does not even come up to the top of the hood.

Enjoy some bright new Sunnyside garage art on a gloomy day.
A painted garage mural featuring bright flowers with a brown dog frolicking in them. Behind them is a blue lake with a mountain in the distance. The sun shines overhead with some fluffy white clouds.

Urbanist Philomena Cunk. If you go to the Netherlands, everyone rides a bicycle, but they don’t wear shiny, tight alien trousers like normal cyclists. They just wear regular trousers, pedaling along completely upright, like a Victorian ghost floating to work.
