@SallyAnn_12 @Ward4Aaron It’s a classic example of a road where the design doesn’t match the desired behavioural outcome. I think the speed limit is supposed to be 50 but that’s definitely not encouraged through the physical cues.

@salcomm @SallyAnn_12 Second the Bonnie Doon one (recently published by the community league) - it’s so well researched and thorough. Can’t put it down!

As a side note:

On her death bed, my first year into this term -one of the last things my mom said to me:

Never let fear stop you.
Obey your conscience.
Love everyone, especially if they’re unlovable.
Make a better world.
Give ‘em hell.

She was an incredible community builder.

Favorite map of the moment. A scenario of Edmonton in 2065 featuring 6 million individual trips per day. Each white dot represents 300 trips (at the destination point). I think this looks like the Milky Way. Our singular movements collectively make up the stars. #yeg

Exciting news for @RaymondBlockYEG - certified #LEED Platinum! 🏅This corner in #yeg's @oldstrathcona has gone from a desolate, contaminated site to a #sustainable place that's full of life. 🌿@AlbertaCaGBC https://t.co/I8hpvisHGZ

Enjoyed this podcast where @taiziola + @jilly_robertson talk about a range of city building topics, from heritage building adaptation, designing for all ages/abilities, infill as a catalyst for greater amenities/services, changing family + household dynamics! Give it a listen!

Samantha Reusch of @apathyisboring : young people are hard-wired for political problem-solving - how can we engage them in democracy for #communitywellbeing ? Who is not in the room, and what are you going to do about it? #FCM2019

Still thinking about the transformation #yeg went through from the #ABwildfire smoke. Here’s a slice of the office view May 30 at 12:00, 3:45 and 5:25, followed by May 31 at 5:25. #nofilter
