There are a lot of growth transit references in Mayor-elect Knack's platform (and some transit components in most of the incumbent platforms). 🧐
Some of my contacts were in & out in 10-15 minutes, I was closer to 35 mins for #yegvote. Don't walk away if there is a line, it can move quickly & every vote is an important one. Thank you election workers! #yeg
Every person I've come into contact with this weekend has heard me encourage them to vote, share how to research candidate platforms & find out where to vote. Transit service can bring you to voting locations. Thank you in advance to election workers! #yeg www.edmonton.ca/city_governm...

The best way to spend a day off. πŸβ˜€οΈπŸš²β˜• #yegbike
My dog is rolling on his back in our yard then smelling the grass over & over and I hope everyone gets to experience simple joys like he does. 🍁
A morning walk. Now listening to kids giggle while they play a boardgame while sitting next to a crackling fire. I finished a book and am now knitting while dinner roasts in the oven. A near perfect day with lots to be thankful for. πŸ‚πŸ™Œ
100%. Some systems don't have documented service standards with specific metrics &/or haven't calculated their alignment to minimum standards. It's an important part for prioritizing new service hours.
The report last fall pointed out that it would take 99 buses to close gap to meet service standards. Cities have taken on much bigger challenges, successfully, across North America. 😁
Lastly, thank you to all of the candidates who share their platforms in a transparent way so we can make informed decisions as Edmontonians.
ETS service 🚌 is available to get to voting locations; trip plan here: tripplanner.edmonton.ca#/app/trippla... or use @transit.app.

Thank you to election workers for helping us exercise our right to vote & supporting democracy. πŸ™Œ

This is super cool.
If we want public transit to succeed, we need to vote for it πŸ—³

Lovely ride this morning! Get outside. #yegbike #yeg
Overnight temps are dropping so it's time to haul in the final round of tomatoes. It was a great season. πŸ™Œ #yeggarden
As a public servant, the month before an election to determine who our governors will be always feels like it has about 400 days. Can we just fast forward to Halloween & know who's at the table? 🫠
I look forward to the orange shirt run & walk/Root for Trees event at Kinsmen every year. Today's event was beautiful on so many levels. 🀎 The sun came out just as the kids crossed the finished line. πŸ™Œ
I am so sorry and sad to hear this news. My condolences to everyone grieving, including his family, friends, colleagues & bike community.
Had a great visit at our LRT garage this afternoon. Love seeing our equipment & fleet up close.

(Photos show train car on a hoist, locomotive used to haul train cars, catenary inspection vehicle and track equipment vehicle).
I think urban design of visiting cities plays a role, too. If they feel a car is needed to explore the city/area, they get it at airport. If our cities had better transit by design (frequent service, good coverage, accessibility, easy fare payment, etc), they might be more likely to start at airport
And crisis averted, got them adjusted! β™₯️ 🚲
My Rad Runner 1 is in need of service to assess weak brakes. I've tried to assess myself but am not having luck. Any recommendations for repair shop, #yegbike? I know not a lot serve @radpowerbikes.bsky.social bikes.
A morning cycle on a sunny day, followed by loading up on veggies & fruit from the farmers market is a nice way to kick off the weekend. #yegbike
