I have been thinking a lot about how our LRT network could have looked if we embraced our high-floor regional network instead of building a more locally oriented system
It lead me to this map, which I think would have been an incredible and fast network

I am of the opinion that if we aren't sending the Metro Line out to Terwillegar, we should atleast make its southern leg a tram through a developed South Campus Farms

Google maps gave me a transit trip that was 15 minutes slower than a very obvious trip
Is it just me or has Google maps gotten worse for transit just in the past few months?

I love this type of projects
It pisses me off that so much of the discourse is around bike lanes being added to the street
NO!!
The purpose was to thin the road and there was enough room to give it to bikes so they did
otherwise it would just be unused asphalt

Between 1982 and October 2025, the Alberta government never used the notwithstanding clause. Now, they have invoked it twice in the last three weeks (and more to come).

I do love getting into the nitty-gritty problem solving of accommodating growth. Infill and mature neighbourhood repopulation is a good thing, but we do need to properly plan for good things
One issue that infill in mature neighbourhoods raises is pragmatic -- how to handle garbage carts. Taproot took a look.

By 1.25 million we should have had 35% of our housing growth from redevelopment, we are at about 23% as of 2024
We SHOULD welcome 500,000 more people into our existing city
How do we increase this pace?

I calculated change in access to jobs by transit before and after Winnipeg's bus network redesign. 🚍
The median resident experienced an increase of 4% in access to jobs within 45 minutes, according to my analysis in R.
The redesigned network gets more people to more places within the same time.
