Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I sent an email to my councilor encouraging her to vote no to this motion and you should too. I'm sick of aggressive behaviour on the behalf of motorists on the 79 street route. It's used for shortcutting and if you appear to impede that, you're subject to abuse. 120

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Me on local fb page: I actually really like the plan for the bike lanes in my area because drivers can't be trusted to pass safely and I have had bad experiences, also it would be safer for kids. Responses: I don't believe you. Where is your VIDEO evidence of CHILDREN biking here? 🤦♀️#yegbike 1100
Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 17/06/2026This account is so interesting, but also some key gaps in data become apparent. If you bike from the southeast central area (e.g. Bonnie Doon, Strathearn, Forest Heights) into the East side of downtown, you're not captured by any bike counters. A counter at Tawatina bridge could solve this. 010
