There is a short engagement period, with two in person events and an online survey.
We think that an important neighbourhood like this deserves a more ambitious design.

Wow, someone is saving it?! That’s awesome. Myself, Mike, and the then prez of the league looked at it a few years ago when it was listed for sale to see if it could be purchased for the league hall.
Hey @clmarohn.bsky.social @strongtowns.org good article, if you haven’t seen it yet.
Powerpoint slides from a presentation entitled “Unleashing the Silent Majority to Beat Bikelash”, which feature photographs of urban transformation from cities around the world.
The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

This eight unit monstrosity has destroyed the character of our mature neighbourhood. Oh wait, it's a single family home. #yeg #yegcc

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)
We’re going to pop in and see you tomorrow morning!

@TheQuartering You do NOT need the new iPad You do NOT need the new Cell Phone You do NOT need the new video game console You WANT them There is a big difference and if you look at the people whining about the tariffs I challenge you to ask them how their lives have been affected in any way
These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Hey #yegbike, 102 Ave bike lane between 115 St and 116 St is very flooded (water main break). Eastbound take the drive lane at 116, westbound I’d consider a detour to 103 Ave…
Agreed, it definitely takes us at least 10 minutes in winter to bike 116 St to the Citadel on 102 Ave in the winter. Start in Glenora, or even at 125 St, and you’d have 15 minutes.
FYI - We still have a few Urban Arrow Cargo Line cargo bikes in stock - and on super duper sale. Once they're gone, they're gone. #yycbike #yegbike
BONUS! - Free sunshade or Essential Rain Cover!

We need to slap a tariff on American-style urban planning, develop trade relationships with planners in Europe and Asia.
