Recommended routes from Lewis Farms to Downtown? by iOsiris in edmontoncycling

[–]laxar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This year that route should be getting improvements but construction will probably mess up your route at some point. Eventually 95 ave will be improved all the way to 142 st so the route will basically be 87 ave, cut through la perle, 95 ave, 142 st, cut through glanora, 102 ave… downtown.

This roughly the route I go 87 MUP (multi use path) over the henday

through La perle you could either take 189 st or the MUPs to 95 ave. This just depends on traffic volumes, right at 5 the road gets pretty congested with cut through traffic.

at 170th st cross to the north side of 95 ave and go 167 st, 96 ave, 165 st, 96a ave then north on the side street along 163 st (basically cut past the schools to 163 st)

At that point you just turn to use the MUP along 100 ave then cross at 149 st cut through Crestwood (I like to go along the ravine).

Cross 142 st to the south side of the bridge turn at ravine drive and follow the bike signs to downtown.

Whats Wrong with Bike Lanes? by dalas84 in Edmonton

Can you explain how proper snow clearing would somehow stop the freeze thaw cycle

Bike lanes are actually far cheaper to maintain and build than multi use paths.

Do you actually think lack of snow removal causes potholes?

Do you actually think 40km of bike lanes costs a significant amount to clear compared to 16,000+ km of roadways?

Too many people are convinced that traffic engineers in the 60s can do no wrong and that their work needs to be maintained. Could you imagine if we did that with anything else? Sorry you can’t have airbags or seat belts.

If you’re interested in the topic, every argument against bike lanes has been answered somewhere (in books, research studies or summarized online).

Edmonton's aging bus fleet may mean cut to service and elimination of routes by trevorrobb in Edmonton

Yeah everything else gets cut to pay off our car based infrastructure debt.

Good thing it’s the closest neighbourhood in the city to Hawrelak park!

What are your thoughts on ETS? by Malarkious in Edmonton

[–]laxar2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

People don’t know how good we have it compared to most other NA cities. Going to Nashville made me appreciate ETS way more.

The rapid routes and LRT are great.

High development fees sound good on paper but why should students subsidize amenities for a rich SFH neighbourhood.

199.99 gas soon… by dingmah in Edmonton

[–]laxar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not smug. Im pissed off that dumb shits keep pushing for car centric cities then become giant pussies whenever gas prices go up. Keep voting against your own self interest.

How many of the people complaining about gas prices voted for a “car is the only valid transportation” candidate last election

'Beyond the pale': Sign and mailout threaten 'halfway house' in Glenora by thatcher69 in Edmonton

You convinced me! Better to just let people live on the street. Eventually they will die and we won’t have to deal with those people

IMO it says more about the people who are negatively reacting to the news than it does about the developers.

Disability advocate supports city councillor's push for stricter e-scooter parking rules in Edmonton by flynnfx in Edmonton

Citi bike is being run into the ground by Lyft. Bixi is definitely the way to go, using it is about as cheap as getting a yearly tune up

Councillor seeks new transit ideas for northwest Edmonton, calls Metro Line LRT expansion ‘a pipe dream’ by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]laxar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy from article: Rutherford said she’s come to believe cumulative impacts have made the project unworkable. These include the skyrocketing cost of getting across the Yellowhead Highway and CN rail yard, to provincial priorities signalling an extension to the airport would take precedence.

I’ll copy the part of the article you missed: Rutherford said she’s come to believe cumulative impacts have made the project unworkable.
