yeah he's running, he's obviously not cycling though.

Damn I was thinking of voting for him based on his "free parking downtown evenings & weekends" idea. But this is a dealbreaker I think.

Missing Sidewalk Program | City of Edmonton
Report a missing sidewalk in Edmonton using this form.
Construction on the 2025 Missing Sidewalk Program started in July 2025 and is anticipated to be completed in fall 2025.
- 100 Avenue: 170 Street to 178 Street
- 103 Avenue: Mayfield Rd to 170 Street
- 172 Street at 103 Avenue intersection
- 172 Street at 105 Avenue intersection
- 111 Street: Saddleback Road to 34 Avenue
- 111 Street: 37 Avenue to 43 Avenue
- 153 Avenue: 117 Street to 121 Street
- 167 Avenue: 91 Street to 95 Street
The 111 Street one completed last year was a shared-use path, so I suspect (hope) that the other portions this year will also be. The NW corner of the 34 Ave/111 St intersection is dug up now, not too sure why, but hopefully it's to correct the awkward angle from the new path completed last year between 34 and 37 Ave:

They already do.
The challenge is that it’s still sub par infrastructure in high traffic areas.
Fine for low traffic residential areas. Bad for commuting areas where bikers are going 25-40km/hr.
Same reason you do speed bumps in residential or stop signs, but you don’t put those on a freeway.
I’ve had so many close calls with pets or people on MUPs and I’ll be going like 15 when I pass them (barely faster than running speed). Ring bell, brake, go to far left. And still some idiot on a phone will random cut left, or their dog on a long leash rips to the opposite side, or a runners with headphones 3 people across won’t move over, etc.
MUPs are a fine compromise in some places. But 132nd ave is what we should be aiming for. Sidewalks, bike paths, continuous crossings, protected intersections.
Just slapping down MUPs along arterials like in new suburbs ain’t it.

It's now late July and the Victoria Park Road MUP is STILL OPEN.
Maybe they decided to wait until after the Labour Day weekend?

This is near the bottom of the Snow Valley MUP coming from east direction. Heavy equipment crushed it in the last 48 hours. It's worse than it looks. Be careful. 311 notified.

97th St renewal between 51st and 63rd Ave is complete. Lots of trees, wide MUP, smooth ramps from MUP to road. Nicely done!
More of this kind of road renewal all over please.

Some interesting findings from new McGill Uni study on transportation in Canada's cities. Study involved 17,000 people. The video has link to more findings in the study.
This first chart indicates the more money you have, the more important a car is to you.
People who bike, enjoy their commute the most.
Most drivers support more funding for public transit.

I want the city to find a way to fast track the rest of 132 Ave. The multi modal roundabout at 90 St and the final section from 82 St to 97 St is critical in linking this all together.
It's interesting that the disagree camp bumps slightly upward at >$150k in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Saskatoon, and levels off in other municipalities.
