It’s time your government got back in the business of building affordable homes.

This is explicitly about stopping development. The NoM specifically identifies this.
Our water availability and infrastructure definitely, contrary to your insinuation, is not due to capacity issues or related building/development. There is no good reason for this NoM.
Hi David, thank you for raising this concern. The purpose of this motion is not to stop development but to ensure that any new growth is backed by safe and reliable infrastructure. Recent water main breaks and infrastructure issues in these communities are clear signs of strain, which is why we need a full assessment to address these issues proactively. This will allow us to identify critical needs, prioritize repairs, and ensure that future developments are sustainable for everyone.

The 12 Ave SE cycle track should reopen this afternoon. Thanks @bikecalgary for your feedback and advocacy while the detour was in place, and thanks @yyctransport for your work in restoring this section of the network!

Centre St is the busiest bus corridor in #yyc. Hopes for #greenlineyyc to deliver relief any time soon have gone up in smoke. It's why we're asking #yyccc & @cityofcalgary to focus on moving Calgarians, not cars & eliminate the lane reversals to create bus only lanes at rush hour

Sounds like @DevinDVote's working hard to dust off plans from the 80s to build a SE LRT to Seton. No mention of north central #yyc or preserving the contract for the low-floor trains the entire design is based off of. Don't be fooled, the @Alberta_UCP isn't building #greenlineyyc

Today is the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) In Canada, Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people are murdered, abused, or disappear at shockingly high rates.

Increasing royalties, saving oil and gas revenues, and using taxes to fund public services makes sense. The only thing missing is a government with the courage and political will to make it happen. - Check out my OpEd in today's Edmonton Journal edmontonjournal.com/opinion/… #ableg

It is critical that we prioritize the building of affordable housing, as has been done in this situation.
If this is not an appropriate place, then where is? Here's hoping that the response from Trellis, identifying a desire to relocate the playground, helps address concerns.

A friend of mine phrased it so brilliantly to their city councillor one: “These folks are already my neighbours, so they might as well have homes to live in”

What’s been lost in this Political Transit conversation is the actual users of transit. I share our family’s experience along the overcrowded Centre Street Transit Corridor. #GreenLineYYC is long overdue in the North and keeps falling through the cracks.

This provincial move to pull funding for a long planned project hurts Calgarians, hurts our economy.

Teaching a post-secondary course in climate change - which includes policy, physical science, and social science components - while the province expands vehicle infrastructure and cuts public transportation initiatives sure is... something.
Kara Levis retweeted
Echoing something @bruce_arthur noted the other day, this is easily the worst provincial government in living memory. And it will giddily wreck the transit system of its largest city to score cheap points against its former mayor calgaryherald.com/news/local…
