Took a year long break from factorio space age after choosing gleba as my first planet. Now I’m on fulgora and it is SO much easier and more enjoyable!! I especially hate time pressure in games and it’s also why I have passive biters turned on

In 2024, Edmonton overhauled its zoning bylaw. It consolidated several restrictive zones into the new RS zone, permitting up to 8 homes per lot subject to 75 square metres lot area per unit.
In 2025, we're seeing the payoff. The rise of the 5-8 unit rowhome is truly remarkable.

However, this success is under threat. In February, City Council is expected to consider once again lowering the hard cap on units to 6.
The data is clear: 8-unit projects drove most of the zoning reform's success. Banning them would intentionally stall Edmonton’s momentum.

- TSP worked 2/3 times to give trains an advance green before left turns or shortened a left turn phase immediately to give a transit phase at jane and finch
-slow line speeds in between stops still a problem
this feels noticeably better. more improvements coming early next year!

Single stair code changes coming to @cityofvancouver.bsky.social council today.
It’s been several years of work getting to this point.
It’s not everything that I’d want but it’s a good first step, with external single stairs and low/mid rise scissor stairs as entirely new housing options.

I think presto should make a Wrapped. E.g. top stations, top agencies, number of trips by month and in total, number or percentage of transfers, maybe like how much you saved thru transfers or month/week/day passes?

Happy first regular weekend GO Train on the Kitchener line! Considering most folks had to get up before 7 to get ready to be here, and that it's the first day, I'm blown away at the turnout. Platform was crowded; my guess is 150-200 people.
