To my utter amazement, construction on the Victoria Park Hill bikelane has already begun. #yegbike This appears to be the permanent version (rather than the summer streets version) with markers for the curb pour, and a busstop.

Remember, if you’re interested in what REALLY “drives” a lot of regional growth & infrastructure politics, it’s pretty much this. Great drawing via Ian Lockwood.
Cartoon with regional commuter saying that after making his choice to live in the suburbs, now he wants widened roads to drive smoothly through the city, lowering safety, health and quality-of-life in the city.

Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth
“It’s not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then ask me where you’re going to put them.“ — Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores, mayor of Ponte Vedra, Spain. Graphic by the Urban Truth Collective.

a church and a parking lot

One of these places is considered a holy ground & untouchable that must be protected at all costs and only discussed with the utmost reverence - the other is a church.

I saw Glenn on the phone & wondered who he was talking to. He's right, Dr Markland really saw people. He connected with you when he talked to you & he also had that impact through social media. This nailed it: "we've lost The Doc but his tracks are there on how we should treat each other".

The cruelty and unfairness of life is a sobering reminder that our time on this pale blue dot is fragile and unknown. Live each day to the fullest. Love fiercely. Be humble. Do good. In the end, it’s not what we did but the relationships we had. You were loved by many.
