This morning at Calgary city council, mere seconds into the meeting: we are on a “flood resilience journey!” 😞🤣 #yyccc

As Calgary buckles to political backlash, let's compare approaches to urban planning #yyc #yyccc

They will see more unhoused people on their streets. Maybe that’s what they prefer over “sending another letter to Edmonton”.
Such arrogance from someone who doesn’t have to live on 20,800 a year!
#yyccc

And people were worried about electing UCP lapdogs to municipal councils because they would just carry water for the province and not actually advocate for their constituents…

Imagine!

“The budget for the Spring Clean-up Program is approximately $7 million.
We sweep more than 17,000 lane km of roadway. Major roads are typically swept overnight”

Everything at Calgary city council is a "journey." Reconciliation. Recycling. Arena deal. Budget. You name it. No matter what it is, we are on a "journey." Oh it's a trip all right... #yyccc

Calgary playground funding: 80% at risk without new investment A new report warns 80% of Calgary playgrounds could close by 2036 without major funding.

Roughly 960 of Calgary's 1,172 existing playgrounds could be gone by 2036 without a serious capital cash infusion, according to a city admin report. #yyc #yyccc #calgary

Calgary councillor pushes to pull 'hypocritical' foxtail barley bylaw clause A city councillor wants to scrap Calgary’s foxtail barley bylaw clause due to a lack of enforcement and questions of functionality, less than three years after it was passed. Ward 2 Coun. Jennifer…

If the city doesn't tackle foxtail barley on its own land, why should residents be punished for having it on theirs, says Ward 2 Coun. Jennifer Wyness. #yyc #yyccc #calgary

Walcott: Pay-to-play public education? Farkas’s fight with Smith is bigger than property taxes Mayor Farkas has picked a fight with Premier Smith. And he picked a good one. Over the last few weeks, Mayor Farkas has called out the province for hypocritically using Calgary property taxpayers to…

I went down to city hall for a rally/press conference this morning (rezoning for housing) & as I was unlocking my bike, one of the journalists' interest was piqued. He asked if he could record & so we chatted Mostly talked about active transportation & safety on MUPs. #yyccc

Leong: Blanket rezoning repealed in Calgary … so, what's next? As Calgary politicians prepare to grapple again with new rules to govern more density in older neighbourhoods, they face the same problems.

“Many speakers at the current and previous public hearings on blanket rezoning spoke in support of more housing density — as long as it happened somewhere other than their own neighbourhood.”

Recognizing that Calgary only wants to house those with money.

It's why we're building an arena for billionaire who doesn't even live here.

"Being 'amenable to persuasion' is an expectation of councillors in every public hearing...

But more than half of the council members who participated in public hearings on blanket rezoning, including Mayor Jeromy Farkas, had already publicly committed to repealing the policy."

So they did🙃

The missing Calgary Public Library branch in Crescent Heights | The Sprawl It was more than ‘a mere book repository.’

This would have been my local library branch. Walkable and bikeable. And while I am sad about its disappearance, I had fun digging into this bit of local Calgary history! #yycbike #yyccc

Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social, it's my great hope that yours won't be just another #KickTheCanCouncil. As such I greatly look forward to seeing your replacement solution as was promised to Calgarians. When can we expect it?
