I recently switched up my commute to #yegdt so that I could test out the new #yegbike infrastructure in AB Ave.

Join me on this part of my commute home and see 4 different forms of infra. Also...has this route been given a quirky name yet? Any suggestions? #yegbike #WardMétis🧵 As we get to Alberta Avenue from downtown, all we have North-South are painted lanes and sharrows. It's not giving All Ages and Abilities.

I suspect we're limited here by the narrow road width and a decision was made to protect one lane of street parking.

Cities lack the power, funds, & revenue raising tools they need to function in a post-Covid world.

While the #UCP slowly strangles #yeg & #yyc, a narrative is brewing that it’s somehow the fault of cities that our economy is tanking.

This is intentional. This is a tactic.

>> In our time of need, while we’re struggling to pay for core services like transit & we don’t have budget to cut grass, the UCP left us decay.

“A strong Canada needs a strong AB.” Well, a strong AB needs strong cities.

Cities are the powerhouses of this prov & co.

WOW. Edmonton just made history, becoming the 1st major Canadian city to remove parking minimums CITY-WIDE.

We can finally park this policy back in the 70’s where it belongs!

Huge kudos to admin & #yegcc for leading the way! Thx to everyone who supported this!

🚗👋🏼🚲🏡🚶🏻‍♀️🧑🏽‍🦽🏃🏻‍♀️🙌🏼 Thank you to the businesses, property owners, media & news outlets, planners, politicians & fellow city builders who elevated this conversation & got ppl excited about parking.

Clear communication & evidence-based decision making won out today.

#yeg you just set a precedent!
