One week’s worth of tree detritus that I got off my roof and out of eavestrough. Given our frequent monsoons, if you have trees near your house I highly recommend you check for clogging.
What we mean by a street for people. This is in Edmonton, btw.
Work has to happen. Still, our bike and sidewalk network downtown is a story of moving through a work camp. It doesn’t feels like there’s coordination or care.
Perhaps the city’s comms army might figure out there’s a story in calculating the overall value of redevelopment the LRT has generated. Crazy idea, I know.
We intentionally relocated to be within two blocks of our primary school, daycare, and other basic stuff. Rather than sit in a car seat, my son meets neighbourhood cats on our short walk to school.
Bikes aplenty at the pub for the game. But some guy who lost a run for council wants to stop bike lanes.
Imagine being important enough to get one of these on your neighbourhood streets!
I’m living in the Rick Mercer 1C skit, but one has been replaced by sun.
I don’t show up at pubs after mountain biking just announcing where I’ve been, but there are signs.
A huge generational shift in how kids in Bonnie Doon get to school that took the extra work and commitment of Kellen Westman with Bike Bus. Bravo. Inspiring.
We hear a lot about how density is destroying neighbourhoods. Here’s the other side of that coin — street filled with people, businesses that can sustain themselves from that, a sense of public space that isn’t a mall.
I’m not sure why I love this era of architecture so much, but I do.
