Has #traffic been worse for you lately? At least in #Edmonton, it's been rough since school started. Parents driving kids to school is a significant cause of traffic congestion.

Don't believe me? This video is the Fri before school started at 750am. The next video is the 1st day at 750 full

Thanks to The Climate Lens podcast for hosting us on this episode! Voters: ask your municipal election candidate if they support sustainable transportation options for Calgarians.
