Since the list time when I was sans broom I keep my trusty old Schmutz Haken. And the plastic stiffener in a a Clarijs pannier makes a good dust pan.

Finally got to use my @princessauto.bsky.social 15 lb rubber mallet. Moved that jersey barrier close to a foot back toward position. 100 ave at 109 st.

Don’t let your attention be lured by the siren beauty of the autumn leaves. Lest you slip upon their rotted remains and crash into rocky corners.

It’s wet leaf season again #yegbike

Cycling in Edmonton is bigger than any one of us. But @drdagly.bsky.social came close to parity. I claim no close ties the man. But he always felt like more than an acquaintance. Godspeed.

We can't say too much at this time, but if you've ever been to Coffee Outside (or thought about coming), it's important that you try to attend this week.

🚲 #yeg is making progress on safe streets—but every step forward sparks bikelash. Loud voices want to rip out bike lanes + safe crossings.

This fall’s election decides whether we move forward or slide back.

They didn’t come to the meeting. They didn’t fill out the survey. They didn’t attend the open house or read the long, boring newsletter where we explained the change before it ever happened.

I actually love this. Normaalize taking your cargobike to visit the inlaws, to explore a different city, to a weekend getaway.

A small load of pallets for the clubhouse. Oh and Marigold Partners has been horribly lazy about monitoring the storm drains. I saw a young pedestrian choose between walking 3 sides of the intersection and walking into traffic because of this puddle. Now more or less drained.

The popsicle test.

Have we built communities that allow 10-12 year olds to start on those building blocks of independence.

Or did we only build a clutch of bedrooms then wait til the kid is 16 and roll the dice with the keys to the minivan?

Jason Thorne @jasonthorne.bsky.social · Jun 18

Planners call it “the popsicle test.” Can a child in your neighbourhood safely walk to a store, buy a popsicle and walk home before it melts? Zoning often prohibits small shops in residential areas. We’re proposing to change that. Tell us what u think! Info sessions June 18 & 19 tinyurl.com/4mpv7mhk

Neighbourhood Retail & Services

We want to hear from you! Participate in an upcoming consultation: June 18 from 6 – 8 p.m. or June 19 from 1 – 3 p.m. Small-scale retail, service and office uses support daily life in Neighbourhoods ...

A caring hand from the first meters on the bike to later in life.

Happy #FathersDay!

A young child seen from the back making his first meters on a bike. An outstretched hand of father is nearby to help if necessary.
