Garneau's historic streets supply community not only to locals, but also to the rest of Edmonton.

Opinion: When is zoning not zoning? When the city supports all changes https://t.co/KFswJ5I71v via @edmontonjournal

A whirlwind day for the Heart Bombs on the old RAM. Less than 24 hours after we put them up - they had been taken down.
It seems the honest sentiments of the Heart Bombs were not allowed. We will not be deterred. #savetheoldRAM #heartbomb2025

@AmarjeetSohiYEG @SamG_a_citizen Re-think plan to construct 2500 housing units in Rossdale, most of them on city owned land (in the river valley!), and head off idea of repurposing approx 20 acres of river valley land across the river from Rossdale for a mountain bike park.

…so it begins

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@fatTireBikeBoy @s_swensrude wouldn't disagree -- there are lots of apartments in Edmonton -- but still lots and lots of yards, even in not so rich parts of town.

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@Krytes42 @s_swensrude Holyrood and Idylwilde with the odd curved street have some of Glenora's layout pattern but, thankfully, in the 20th C, the city put in boulevards and planted elms in every neighbourhood of the city -- part of the garden suburb idea.

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@Krytes42 @s_swensrude As a 20th C. city, Edmonton embraced principles of the garden suburb and City Beautiful movement -- Edmonton was subdivided into lots on which people could have a house and plant gardens -- retaining a connection with nature. Not just the rich, but everyone.

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@Krytes42 @s_swensrude "garden suburb emerged out of a utopian impulse, a vision of what urban living could be if we
were bold enough to start anew, but it was also a pragmatic response to the overcrowded,
unsanitary, unhealthy, and socially destructive conditions found in Europ and American
cities."

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@Krytes42 @s_swensrude post talked about garden suburbs and houses with yards, generally (not Glenora)

[Eric Gormley @EricGormley1]

@KTBrushett @s_swensrude Lots of co-op housing in 1970s. Let’s bring it back.
