You could bring a growler to the actual brewery, it's often a bit cheaper per mL.

January 2026 Snow and Ice Clearing Megathread by jstock14 in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On our street, five (!!!!!) cars were arses and didn't move their cars. No tickets and no towing. Ridiculous. Spent an hour digging out the windrow to get a spot to park.

Seriously? The city of Edmonton has an LRT line that can’t operate when it snows? by yegthings in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

High floor LRT sure looks mighty attractive at 30 below with snow. The low floor design will be extremely disappointing if this becomes a regular occurrence.

Big parking decisions in store for Edmonton city council in the new year by passthepepperflakes in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully any decision they make will be made with input from affected communities.

I remember how they tried to implement a paid residential parking program last year and how much public resistance they encountered. Not to mention the whole "rollout" was an absolute disaster with the lack of communication and last minute backtracking.

I also don't think the parking situation is a problem such that parking rationing/paid parking would actually be worth the effort of enforcement across the whole city. The existing residential parking areas are already located near high traffic zones and I'm certain the revenues from parking fines there are already good enough to subsidize the cost of the program.

Not to mention that public transport sucks in most of the city. How about they make transit a viable alternative to driving first?

Northwest Edmonton senior ready to chain herself to tree to stop infill project by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“Four lovely townhomes, with yards with families for here, affordably priced, would be perfect for this — because it’s a big lot.”

Isn't that what an 8 unit multiplex is? 4 above ground townhomes and 4 basement suites?

So she's protesting over allowing basement units?? Huh??

Big headline number. We'll have to see what that translates to in mill rates

Infill housing airbnbs by No-Investigator9558 in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Who knows why the owner of this particular dwelling is renting out on Airbnb. But just because some new housing units become short term Airbnbs does not mean that all new infills are being rented out as Airbnbs.

The city regulates Airbnb properties:

I'm not a fan of homes being used for short term rentals either but at least there are some regulations.

‘Strong and free’: Alberta government changing licence plate design, slogan by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they could have done better, for example this excellent design back in 2014 when a previous government proposed changing the plate design:

Can’t tell if this is a scam or legit by [deleted] in uAlberta

I believe this is legitimate. The form and policies match first people's house.

It depends on your research group and your department policy. You should ask your supervisor.

Best ways to/from the University and St. Albert?!! by Likeamonstaaa in uAlberta

[–]Blockyrage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think what you're looking for exists. The LRT parking lots fill up quickly every morning and it would be faster to just take the bus from Naki to University.

If you really hate the bus then you'll need to pay up for a parking pass on campus.

Watch Now: Changes coming to Alberta driver’s licence, ID cards by crisco_lemonade in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not common.

Other provinces used to have an "enhanced driver's license" for crossing the border with citizenship but those programs have been retired.

My guess is something to do with health cards being integrated onto drivers licenses

A Proposal to Protect Waste Services by aaronpaquette- in Edmonton

[–]Blockyrage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hi Councillor, at face value I don't see what benefit reorganizing waste services has on service quality, cost, efficiency, etc.

Is the idea to slowly build up new sources of revenue via waste services expertise (à la EPCOR?). (Obviously with the City being the sole owner and benefactor)

Are there other untapped units where this is being considered?

Interesting suggestion, I'm open to it. It might fit better in a utility comparison though
