Just a new councillor unironically using the war on cars to justify their vote (while also claiming not to believe it, while voting that way anyway) and marking themselves as a goof. The public aren't as stupid as you think they are. And I'm not a liar. www.youtube.com/live/-F-9btk...

Sunday, I dressed up and rode around on an old bike with some friends. We took some pictures, had some laughs, learned some city history. I ended up on the front page of the paper. I’ve been smiling inside for two days. This quiet humble joy is what life is about. It’s not complicated. #yegbike

#Mural in #Edmonton of four #dogs leaping joyfully. It's so new the artist's lifter is still in site, at the mural's bottom, and it shows how large the mural is.

Screenshot of a CBC News Edmonton video clip with the headline: Cyclists deliver postcards to Transportation Minister in support of bike lanes. The shit is of several cyclists with the camera focused on one cyclist's backpack with a handmade sign affixed to it that reads: I'd rather be in a bike lane. Tell the UCP to stay in their lane. So that I can stay in mine.

Hey #yegbike just a reminder about the detour on the NW of the High Level Bridge. Several cyclists seemed very confused about where to go on my commute because there is zero wayfinding signage about where the detour is. So I figured I'd share this detour map that Paths for People shared earlier.
Satellite map view of Constable Ezio Faraone Park and the High Level Bridge. There is a legend in the upper left-hand corner with a red line indicating shared path closed and a green line indicating shared path open. The typical shared use path and pedestrian sidewalk straight from the 97 Ave crosswalk to the northwest entrance of the shared use path on the High Level is closed. The detour is west along 97 Ave to connect onto the shared use path just slightly west of 110 St and then make a slight right to continue west on the shared use path avoiding the cobbled promenade and then left to continue on the shared use path towards the northwest entrance of the High Level Bridge. This path is indicated on the map with a green line.
