"132 Avenue is a #yeg-owned collector road. #Alberta does not maintain or operate this roadway. The street is home to schools, homes, seniors’ centres, parks, and small businesses. It's not a freight corridor like the high-volume Yellowhead Trail just south of this project.

"Through four years of engagement, Edmontonians shaped this plan for slower speeds, safer crossings, bike and walk infrastructure, and a livable street.

"The Province wants to override that work."

Events Roundup: April 17, 2025 https://mailchi.mp/taprootedmonton/events-roundup-2025-04-17 #yegevents #yeg

Hello, #YEG! Guess who just got accepted to this year's Whyte Avenue Art Walk!? As "Alberta’s oldest and largest non-juried visual arts festival," this event is kind of a big deal.

Celebrating its 30th year, it will see 400 artists lining the streets at the height of summer; I’ve always come home with a piece of art when I’ve strolled through. Spots for #Photographers in particular are limited, so I’m extra delighted that I made it in!

Absolutely infuriating! The UCP is pulling another Ford Nation on Edmonton.

'In a letter dated April 16, 2025, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors Devin Dreeshen demanded that the City cancel or postpone the construction of bike lanes between 66 Street and 97 Street, citing concerns about "driving capacity."

This proposal is not only out of touch—it’s dangerous.

Let’s be clear: 132 Avenue is a City-owned residential collector road. It’s not part of Alberta’s provincial highway system. The Province does not fund this project, nor does it maintain or operate this roadway. The street is home to schools, homes, seniors’ centres, parks, and small businesses—not freight corridors.

The renewal design was developed through four years of public engagement. Hundreds of Edmontonians helped shape this plan. They asked for slower speeds, safer crossings, better bike and walk infrastructure, and a more livable street.

The Province now wants to override that work—and remove already-approved, already-funded infrastructure—based on political ideology, not data.'

Shout-out to whomever at the #yegDT Farrow location is responsible for today's playlist.

Kittie might not be for everyone - or maybe not even the most conducive to people enjoying their lunch in the shop, but I still see you and appreciate you and your taste in classic screamy music from a legendary Canadian band.

#Liberals in #EdmontonGriesbach, please consider that we are about to lose our riding to a complete iDiotte. He proved himself unfit to represent us the last time he was elected. Please consider supporting #BlakeDesjarlais instead. The projected vote numbers are so close that each voter will make a difference.

Hey everyone! Grab your favorite coffee or tea and join us this Friday for #CoffeeOutside at Constable Ezio Faraone Park in downtown Edmonton! We’re hanging out from 7:30 to 9 am. Whether you walk, bike, or roll in any way, everyone’s welcome! See you there!

Do you or anyone you know want my Captain Tractor ticket for tomorrow night?? I'm totally fixated on my Korea trip that starts Sunday morning. I can't imagine going to a concert tomorrow, something I haven't done since well before the pandemic began!!

So you know where they get it from.

With a max gust of 68km/h, yesterday was #Edmonton Airport's windiest Apr 16th since records began in 1961. #YegWx #YEG #ABWx

Hey #yeg, keep an eye out if you're looking for music gear. Long & McQuade South was robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment, some of which was customer-owned.

Attached is a list of all that was stolen.
