Seems like gas just hovered somewhere around that post Covid.
The last two spikes were when gas taxes were about to be added back in Alberta and when the carbon tax was about to be cancelled.

Bike and brunch ride tomorrow starting at the Oliver exchange building
I do not understand why some wide sidewalks are SUPs and others aren’t.

Are there amazing projects happening outside of Toronto? Or do rural Ontario voters really just want a new island, convention centre, spa complex and science centre in Toronto?
Downtown has to offer something different that you can’t find at a strip mall or big box store.
Being anti-bike and anti-transit as a downtown record store owner is just too funny. Yeah, get that lifted-truck-bro record buying demo.
The idea that people will drive 30 minutes from the burbs to the core for lunch but only if they know there will be parking 30 seconds away from the door of the restaurant is just absurd.
There are plenty of Chinese restaurants and grocery stores outside of Chinatown.
Read this article in the Edmonton Journal where business owners in Edmonton's Chinatown are saying they would prefer the city not build a bus lane on 101st. Why? Because it would remove parking that is just so impossible to find!
You know what!? Just for fun, lets go on google maps!
Anti-developer profit seems to be the most common opinion.
Most people just want to park on the side street anyway.
I guess the BRT plan is dead before it even gets started. Council just plans to fold bus lanes once anyone complains.
NIMBYs in Edmonton describing how many doors and toilets are in infills.
I think I might have figured out where Calgary’s tax dollars are going
And then only give out 2,000ish tickets. The odds of any punishment is minimal.
It feels like the last few years have been an experiment in seeing if people can behave on the road without enforcement. It clearly failed.
Anyone know a good podcast that covers the Canadian constitution?
I’ve listened to an episode of the 99pi American one, but want something similar for Canada
I guess this is going to be the state of online politics. Get AI to pump out garbage post about “downtown bad” with misleading numbers to rile up suburbanites.
This made me realize that getting the LRT out to the airport could also mean a Costco accessible by the train.
If we are prioritizing new bike routes in the next budget we should build a pedestrian bridge to IKEA.
Obviously all the NIMBYs would have been happy if Edmonton moved from an 8 to 6 plex maximum.
Bollards and planters like England does.
Check out the intersection where a driver hit a pedestrian going the wrong way down a one way street.
Would they be doing that if the city had installed a bollard or cement median? Paint isn’t infrastructure.

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history.
In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.
Police are looking for a grey or light blue SUV that was involved in a hit-and-run crash earlier this month. #yeg
Thinking about what the worst “bike infrastructure” is on the city’s bike map.
This section of gateway being a shared roadway is probably my favourite.
I think so many of our problems are just how ingrained the marketing is. How many people think that their SUV is an extension of them and an expression of their personality.
Buying a mass market consumer item doesn’t highlight your “rugged individualism”.
Would be nice if people would wake up to the fact that their love of SUVs is just the outcome of billions spent on marketing by mega corporations.
Calgary is already seeing this play out on our roads, to deadly effect.
17,000km of roads in Calgary means transit is likely not an affordable solution.
Most of the city is single family homes not within walking distance of daily services.
A slow moving transportion catastrophe. #roadsafety
"Harvard Medical School notes that noise pollution not only drives hearing loss... but can cause or exacerbate cardiovascular disease; type 2 diabetes; sleep disturbances; stress..."
The urban planning profession should be up in arms about how nodes and corridors planning is public health arson.
