Our condolences to the family.
Please remember:
1. The sidewalk that a driveway crosses is not car space, it’s walking space a car may only cross when safe.
2. Parking lots are for walking. You only put your car there to get out and walk the rest of the way.

"A 2024 study of Edmonton showed a 25-per-cent drop in collisions between pedestrians and cars and a 31-per-cent drop in pedestrian injuries and fatalities after speed limits on residential streets were lowered to 40 kilometres an hour from 50 there in 2021." www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...
Does setting slower speed limits on residential streets make them safer?
Slower speeds reduces the number and severity of collisions so long as they’re enforced

Though communities deeply feel the pain of derelict properties—through fires, crime, squatting, and disorder—for years, many cities assumed they had very little real power to confront these properties.

The popsicle test.
Have we built communities that allow 10-12 year olds to start on those building blocks of independence.
Or did we only build a clutch of bedrooms then wait til the kid is 16 and roll the dice with the keys to the minivan?

Winnipeg, MB - full Council attendance and a couple of dozen presenters in the Gallery for the imminent start of the zoning hearing to "end exclusionary zoning." *If approved* (?) this will mean 4 res units as-of-right on full lots with urban services, and 2-3 units on other classes of property.

With the ZBR we’ve done the heavy lifting on getting government and nimbys out of housing choices. We also have more and better access to industrial land.
But Edmonton needs more and better transit and more and better mobility options. And more industry.
