When I think about exciting projects that will attract tourists, bring energy, and connect people, it's the @highlevelline: A multi-modal thread that connects Downtown and the Southside of Edmonton.
UCP Minister should bring cash, not criticisms, to Edmonton.
Just over six months ago, UCP Minister Ric McIver sent a letter to local bike advocates that the Government of Alberta, “respects the autonomy of municipalities to make decisions about local projects and priorities”. But this was before former UCP Minister Peter Guthrie got kicked out of cabinet for speaking out about Premier Smith’s health care scandal.
In an attempt to divert attention away from allegations of corruption, the UCP recently sent Minister Devin Dreeshen to Edmonton to weigh into active transportation lanes, AKA “bike lanes”. Since the Minister has forced the debate, I do think there’s merit in fact checking a few things.
