Update for those following my snow clearing grievances! @mykeatkinson.bsky.social's office was super helpful and has confirmed it is indeed North Hill Mall's responsibility. #yyccc #yycwalk

This sidewalk is still ridiculous. North Hill Centre told me in December it's not part of the mall and suggested 311. I submitted a request then. Will do so again. But surely there's a better strategy than 311 submissions every time it snows.😡 #yyccc #yycwalk

We're now three weeks since #yyc's first big snowfall and trying to push a stroller around this city is still a pain. This is a well-used route next to a shopping centre (North Hill Centre). #yycwalk #yyccc

In a record year for pedestrian deaths, here’s what Calgary can learn from other cities | CBC News Calgary has seen 14 pedestrian fatalities this year. It’s the highest number of pedestrian deaths on Calgary Police Service records, which date back to 1996. According to police, it’s a death toll onl...

I would strongly argue we don't need to learn. We know. The City knows. We just continually choose to not do it to the scale it needs to be done.

And with the modest budget adds for this year - we can both celebrate progress and know it's not enough.

Family of two girls hit by minivan calling for change to northwest Calgary intersection Alejandra Graham, 18, was walking her little sister, 10-year-old Camilla Graham, to school when they were hit by a minivan in a pedestrian crossing.

A minivan driver hits two sisters, age 18 and 10, while they're in a pedestrian crossing. The quote from police in this story seems... misplaced? "One of the issues we have is regarding people that just stepped in front of vehicles." www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti... #yyccc #yycwalk #yyc

Getting closer to resurrecting @peddownyyc.bsky.social using the Open Data portal...

Take the politics out of active transportation by tying funding to usage. If 2.5% of trips are made by walking or wheeling, 2.5% of the transportation capital budget should support those modes. This creates a fair, transparent basis for investing in transportation, fixing pathway gaps, and building long-awaited links like the Calgary to Cochrane Trail

Potentially of interest to #yycbike and #yycwalk folks who are paying attention to the upcoming municipal election: Tying mode share to the roads budget would ensure funding for active transport grows as more people walk and roll.

Thoughts?
