@calgarytransit packed platform at Southland C-Train station due to delayed trains. Why did an empty northbound train just drive by without stopping? Thank you

[Jennifer Evaniew @jenevaniew]

@calgarytransit as of 5:16pm, this Max Yellow bus heading southbound did not stop for me at MRU. Thank you

[Jennifer Evaniew @jenevaniew]

@calgarytransit at stop 9178

@cityofcalgary @kourtpenner @Ward11yyc Thank you! Hoping that the MUP can be reopened for the numerous students, pedestrians and cyclists in the area (it’s currently fenced off as shown in the second photo)

Inaccessible “crosswalk” between John Ware School and the Southland Leisure centre, and a blocked MUP that forces you through a busy parking lot @cityofcalgary @kourtpenner @Ward11yyc #yyccycle

@calgarytransit garbage at stop 6439 needs to be emptied. Thank you!

Remember, when the fresh snow flies in your city, it reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets for cars making them faster & more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life. We call them #sneckdowns. HT @fietsprofessor

Here’s a truly bizarre one, from beautiful Banff Alberta — Parks Canada opposes continuing the highly successful car-free Banff Avenue. Park superintendent Salman Rasheed wrote weird letter to Town Council — does he want cars back?

100% wrongheaded.

Bit late to this, but Alberta population numbers from last week keep breaking the y-axis. Last five quarters are the top five growth quarters ever. In the last six months, growth was equivalent to the population of Red Deer. The 4% growth rate suggests a doubling in 18 years.

A brief splash of sunlight in Calgary as the sun drops below a thick Chinook Arch this evening! #yyc

@BanffNP Had a wonderful time! 🚲

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Traffic engineers designed slip lanes so motor vehicles could make turns without slowing down, prioritizing their speed over the safety of people walking. This speaks volumes to our values as a society.

We need to redesign and reimagine streets that put people first.

If you are thinking wildfire smoke is becoming a regular part of Calgary's weather, you are correct.
