Careful, I think the City of Calgary is looking for new ideas for their “shared responsibility” campaign …
Here’s the really pernicious part of *be seen* pedestrian campaigns. This driver argued the person he hit was legally 100pc at fault cause he was wearing black. Gambit failed, but those campaigns create unrealistic expectations. h/t @davethompsonvic.bsky.social

Driver who claimed the pedestrian he hit was to blame loses challenge
The driver argued unsuccessfully at B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal that he was “0% responsible” because the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing and carried no lights.

In 2018, Jeromy Farkas called the Olympics “the ultimate politician vanity project.” Not anymore! In the new Sprawlcast, we speak with Mayor Farkas about how his position has changed and why he's thinking about the possibility of a 2038 bid (with caveats).

Should Calgary press play on a future Olympic bid? | The Sprawl
After opposing 2026, Farkas considers 2038.

Not just an Ontario problem … I still remember the stupidity of the dumb patch fiasco with the Calgary Police Service and spineless leadership that let them get away with something so trivial and yet important to the community. Said a lot about what accountability looked like.
New from me at TVO: the allegations in Project South call for a root-and-branch effort to reform policing in Ontario. www.tvo.org/article/anal...
ANALYSIS: We need to rebuild policing in Ontario — from the ground up | TVO Today
The fallout from Project South can’t be limited to small tweaks. Police governance in this province needs an overhaul.

For a magazine piece, I'm looking to talk with #yyc families who live in newer communities about the amenities (or lack thereof) in their neighbourhoods. (Playgrounds, grocery stores, childcare, etc.) If this is you or someone you know, please send a DM or email [email protected]. Thanks!!

Today #yyccc was told that a full repeal of blanket rezoning puts over $800 million in federal funding at risk, including $251 million in transit funding. In addition, it will jeopardize #yyc being awarded its share of $20 billion in transit funding. We quite literally can't afford to be NIMBYs.

Wasn't AECOM supposed to have a detailed design by now? 😬
NEW: The City of Calgary is opening public engagement on the proposed downtown alignment for the Green Line LRT.
The proposal calls for an elevated LRT line from the Event Centre down 10 Ave S and running up 2nd St SW.
