I recently switched up my commute to #yegdt so that I could test out the new #yegbike infrastructure in AB Ave.
Join me on this part of my commute home and see 4 different forms of infra. Also...has this route been given a quirky name yet? Any suggestions? #yegbike #WardMétis🧵

#cdnparl is waiting for overdue mandatory report on the Tobacco and Vaping Act. The law sorely needs an overhaul to redress the youth vaping epidemic it created and to achieve the 5 by 35 goal on tobacco reduction. Protection delayed is protection denied. newswire.ca/news-releases/pa…

If people could experience getting around their neighbourhood without a car - on amazing infrastructure - we would probably see some solid support for street design changes.
It's hard to imagine something different from what's familiar in most Calgary neighbourhoods.
