I'm curious how this new order even works. If it's already permitted, can it get built? Do shovels have to be in the ground already?

I would think kids on bikes getting hit on some of these routes (like 79 street recently) would be a justifiable reason. I'd like to know what she means by justifiable.

Make Alberta America again? The fantastic Globe crew unearths even deeper ties between Alberta separatists and Republican officials, including a pledge to give the U.S. some of our resources in exchange for backing sovereignty www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

The exact line the local boomers used when denying the need for a 79 bike lane. Oh and they also wanted footage of random children to prove that kids bike to school.

Lol. Just like 79 street was scheduled for this year.

I get the feeling admin doesn't give an f if this is completed and hopes to just push it off until it's no longer feasible.

Critical mass, Aug 28 #yegbike How nice it would be to actually have those 79 and 101 street lanes right by my house...

Did we get an estimate of how many people were there? She said it was the largest, but I was curious how many? Super fun ride!

Listening in and feeling amazed how many eloquent, intelligent people are advocating for safe bike infrastructure here in Edmonton #yegbike

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Right? I'd love to know. My two options to get out of my section of neighbourhood is either 101 (horrendous) and 79 (slightly less horrendous). Please show me where I can go that's safe and direct.

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I would love for them to identity what other route. The way these neighbourhoods are set up is basically all roads lead to 79 street. You have to bike on it at some point even if you take a side street.

I've interacted with this lady on my local FB group. I told her about all the dangerous behaviour by drivers directed towards cyclists on this road. She doesn't give a fuck.

The GBA+ analysis in the report just rings so hollow. Women cyclists are subject to not only regular abuse on behalf of motorists but misogynistic abuse as well, because men see women as easy targets. Ask me how I know.

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
I 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.

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
I bike 101 west of 79 every single day. I'm super pissed about the scrapping of the lane. It's only been marginally better lately because of the lane closure at the 75 street intersection.

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
It me...I'd love an opposite direction bike lane on my one-way street and I HATE how drivers speed down it as a shortcut.

About 6 or 7 years ago the city produced a report and held public consultations about “daylighting” mill creek. The last few hundred metres of the creek had been diverted through a culvert decades ago in preparation for a freeway that (thankfully) never got built. Those plans were abandoned …

The city should make a fare free zone between government and university stations in the meantime to support active transportation users to get across the river.

Can anyone confirm the funicular is running? CoE website seems to say so #yegbike

Would have been there if I wasn't at work. I bet many others as well - the timing was probably strategic on Dreeshens side. Great turnout.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: a Tawatina bridge counter would catch a lot of otherwise uncounted bike traffic from the southeast part of the city (myself included).

Sid @squidalisha.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
Tbh it's probably not even going to happen at this point with the UCP hostile bike legislation in the fall. I live in the area and east of 75 is terrible to bike. This would make it so much easier to get to Capilano. Right now I have to yeet it across 106 just after the Gretzky which is terrible.

I (unfortunately) became aware of this guy last election since he's in my ward. Invited him on a ride along to show why lanes are needed. He never responded 🤷‍♀️

Me 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

This 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.

Closed all week during peak bike commute season. No clue why this can't be better scheduled. Why for a full week, why in June. Why not over weekend or in April?

It's a good feeling when all the maintenance you did prevents water incursion in your 1957 home's basement during a major rain event.
