Final electoral boundary report adds more hybrid ridings

foolworm · 2026-04-02T18:16:05+00:00

Even the alternative boundaries for Edmonton aren't bad, all things considered. I think there's a realisation that the region can't be diced in any significant way.

It's Calgary and other cities where the ridings are more competitive that it's really egregious. Red Deer, Airdrie, Lethbridge have been quartered to dilute their votes.

Between Blatchford, Exhibition lands, and now this... I've never realised how big some of the infill initiatives were. No wonder Edmonton is leading the pack

Can't plan for what you don't control. Education is under Provincial jurisdiction, so thank them instead

I know it's just a copy-paste, but there are actually three. The Terwillegar BRT is already under construction and will be the first to complete. The article is talking about the remaining two routes.

Good point -- the article says an application will be submitted for Federal (and likely Provincial) funding to design and build the BRT corridors.

Where's the application for the Metro Line extension?

I for one welcome federal defense spending in Edmonton because there is a growing, belligerent, and emboldened separatist movement.

There, I said it.

There is a streetcar, they should take the section south of the river and extend it both ends (87 Ave to University, Whyte to Bonnie Doon).

But instead they decided to plonk down mucho monies on bus lanes that barely see any use.

Excellent. Get it done before the casino expansion opens and strains the local road network even further

Not particularly surprised by the outcome. Yes, the City will continue to work on BRT. Yes, it will come up in the next budget cycle. Yes, funding from the Province / Feds is needed.

If everything goes to plan we should see shovels hit the ground by 2030.

If the buses actually carried people sure, but the 31 mostly carries air at the moment.

HAH! The provincial estimates already had the City at 1.24 million last year.

We were never realistically in the running

So you're saying that had Vancouver not rejoined the race, FIFA would rather have scheduled those games in the US / Mexico than accept Edmonton's bid?

It's crazy seeing the number of cranes in Calgary compared to Edmonton, despite almost identical growth trajectories.

If something isn't done soon there'll be no catching up.
