The lesbian designer of one of Edmonton's most prestigious neighbourhoods -- and her threatened architecture. #yegplan #yeghistory #yegpride 
Jean Wallbridge was born in Edmonton in 1912 to an affluent lawyer and his wife. Jean was educated at private schools, in Europe & @VictoriaArts. It's safe to assume that she was one of the few young Edmontonians presented at the royal court in London during the Depression.
Jean studied architecture @UAlberta and likely thanks to her professor, Cecil Burgess, became passionate about urban planning. During WWII, when there were precious few planners employed by municipal governments in Canada, Jean got a job with @cityofsaintjohn planning commission.
WOW. Edmonton just made history, becoming the 1st major Canadian city to remove parking minimums CITY-WIDE.

I spent the last month digging into the data and speaking to advocates about systemic racism on #yegtransit and the importance of mobility for equity. I'll be threading the urgent points I think this piece brings to light here throughout the day #yeg #yegcc #yegpoverty #yegplan
@edmontonjournal First of all, these numbers aren't *news* for Indigenous people living in Edmonton, even if they are newly reported. “It’s very, very commonly known within Indigenous people,”said Dusty LeGrande, a director at iHuman #yeg #yegtransit
#yeg residents can’t get to the grocery store. So instead, the grocery is coming to them.
I’m not talking shop and click. These are honest-to-goodness, pick apples off the cart shops carrying produce at less than supermarket prices.

It’s being run as a social enterprise to deliver fresh fruit and vegetables into the heart of Edmonton’s food deserts.
It’s a concept that’s already taken off in Calgary.
Fresh Routes Calgary now trucks veggies to 60 different locations, partnering with H&W Produce & others.
