Under Smith's forced repeal of a 6-year old bylaw, if I were to redevelop my property I would be forced to add parking spots to it. Peeking out my window right now, I can see 10 empty public parking spots. 0348

Reposted by @jpatricklee.bsky.socialRyan Batty @ryanbatty.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Love that Edmontonians can elect councillors who support bike lanes and infill, only for the province to override them.
