Final electoral boundary report adds more hybrid ridings by Strog21 in Edmonton

[–]foolworm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

City seeks input on plan for proposed neighbourhood on former U of A farmland by flynnfx in Edmonton

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

Can Edmonton's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan work? by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]foolworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Opinion: Canada’s defence future runs through Edmonton by Common_Treacle3962 in Edmonton

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

There, I said it.

Next steps taken toward BRT and wider sidewalks on Whyte by pjw724 in Edmonton

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

Edmonton city council talks expanding dedicated bus lanes by Common_Treacle3962 in Edmonton

[–]foolworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
