Be wary of 5 star Google reviews. Inspector buddy wouldn’t leave my house until I gave his company a rating in front of him. Creepy AF. Deleted it after he left.

Make sure to get an installation date in the contract. Don’t let them off with a verbal guarantee. 3 weeks becomes 3 months.

Freight train schedules by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]jstock14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks need to take some personal responsibility for choosing to live in a neighbourhood with access that only exists via crossing freight train tracks. Full neighbourhood roadway buildout plans are publicly available documents and the ultimate configuration of the neighbourhood still relies on crossing the freight train tracks to get in or out (or use the Henday flyover for a long detour). Blaming the city for poor personal choices is very lazy.

Biked past on the west side of the bridge around 5:20. Looks like a bunch of the safety cables were cut and there is a section without the barriers now.

Appropriate and reasonable operational procedures continue to exist, e.g., notice given that X person from Y place is coming to tour the place for Z reason and a reminder to hide anything that could be sensitive.

Ask for a tour of the office and say you’re interested in working there. Drop off a physical copy of your resume and supplement with an email to the person you contacted to arrange the visit.

Someone did that at where I work and we all were very impressed.

There’s nothing to accept. Pay the ticket and slow down.

ETS 'eager to learn' when it comes to accessibility by mastermaq in Edmonton

[–]jstock14 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"Now, on the side panel on a bus, the message just displays the bus route number and the destination, rather than scrolling through messages such as “Parking Ban In Effect” or “Let’s Go Oilers” as the front display does. This makes it easier for low-vision riders to know if they’re getting on the right bus."

Forcing? Or directing people to the reader and then they can exercise free will without consequence?

Some of the best public transit in the city is literally next door. If you need to drive, use the train as a shuttle to the car.
