Edmonton's zoning reforms, partnerships draw praise at housing symposium
While Edmonton's zoning reforms, collaborative housing programs, and modern construction methods are earning national praise, the city still struggles to meet the growing demand for affordable housing.

We've had a few cool days, but December 11th will be Edmonton's first official -20°C of the winter. #yegwx #yeg
The last time that we had one was back on February 20th, which was 293 days ago.

Premier Smith now faces official recall notice. 20 UCP members under siege. This is no longer just a flashy political stunt. Some UCP members could lose special elections. Rewritten column.

Since 2024, Edmonton has legalized building more affordable housing options, like row homes, in central neighbourhoods.
While only a small number, less than 1%, of properties have been redeveloped, it makes all the difference for the lives of the local workers who get to live there.

Good to know, claim submitted!
Cycling has been very challenging, and downright dangerous, for nearly a week. This was extremely avoidable if the City had used this incredible emerging technology called 'weather forecasts'. Literally everyone knew that days of rain would become a problem as the temps dropped.

For those who use it regularly, the detour path on the 111 St bridge over the ravine for Capital Line LRT expansion is clear. Studs needed.
I was told the the stretch from 23 Av - AHD is being maintained by a subcontractor for Ledcor, not the city, so hopefully may be cleared faster.

True, but also car reliance that forces everything to be needlessly far apart.
One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.
Be a housing fan.

With sparkly snow gently falling over iced up surfaces, tomorrow morning's commute could get dicey. Through the Leg Grounds, the only surface not covered in ice was the skating rink, and the sloping 106 St bike lane south of Jasper is primed to pull tires sideways from under riders again. #yegbike

As Edmonton passes 32 traffic deaths, it's worth looking at the trend. At this rate, we'll hit 36, shattering the all time high.
Vision Zero says 0 traffic deaths by 2032, instead we are on track to hit 66 deaths.
Vision Zero isn't failing, it has already failed.
