Unbelievably short-sighted. Growing urban populations need the kinds of infrastructure appropriate to big cities: restricted pubic transit rights-of-way, safe pedestrian routes, and bike lanes. More people, fewer cars.

Also: cars don’t pay taxes, people do - including people who don’t drive.
Talk about a news cycle...

Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen is asking the City of Edmonton to stop any new bike lanes that could impact driving lanes.

UCP Transportation Minister (and MAGA bro) Devin Dreeshen is frightened by some bike lanes.

Nice try using scare tactics to distract Edmontonians from:
-UCP not paying to maintain the provincially run roadways in Edmonton
-AHS rebranding waste, CorruptCare scandal
-UCP cozying up to Trump

1/ Eliminating parking minimums in Edmonton is the gift that keeps on giving. Check out this new development coming up near my place. (a thread, with citations at the end).

The alley that it backs on to is a dead sea of surface parking lots. This place, on the other hand...

Please support my work. Your donations make a real difference. Even $5 per month is a bus pass for a vulnerable youth or senior. I have no government funding or any sponsors. Last year I worked with 956 vulnerable persons. One time donations are welcomed as well. Thx

This is just a reminder in case you missed it the first time around.

Do the survey. Be a part of the national conversation on MAiD.
Our federal gov't has put out a questionnaire about MAiD & advance requests.
Advance requests would cover such conditions as dementia & Alzheimer's Disease.
Currently in Canada, MAiD based on an advanced request, is currently not allowed.

Someone just asked me if I could ship some ordered prints by Purolator rather than Canada Post who are on strike.

Canada Post $18
Purolator $48

CP is next day. Purolator is 3-5 days.

In case you're wondering why it's important for Canada Post to survive.

(This is to Calgary from Edmonton)

If you need some studded tires, this is a really cool program!
Looks like it’ll be around -5 for the next couple of weeks, which will be a great time to try winter biking.

Bluesky #yeg: what is the "good" organization to donate to in order to help my fellow human who is suffering from homelessness and this cold right now.

Good as in, non-religious, non-judgemental and not UPC affiliated.

I had a great weekend learning tons at the Parkland Institute Conference, and finished it off at a potluck doing some grassroots organizing.
