The city is (finally) officially recommending closing the street in front of the Old Strathcona Farmers Market to vehicles - permanently.

I don't want to celebrate too early but when it's time to buy cake I know somewhere in the area you can.

Do you ❤️ Old Strathcona as much as we do? The City is reimagining the area’s public places and we need your input.

Fantastic interview on Edmonton AM with Mark Connolly, Tara McCarthy:

Does adding density to neighbourhoods make housing more affordable? cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

'Having a mix of amenities nearby to where people live has been shown to increase physical activity through more walking. More walkable neighbourhoods have also been shown to be associated with decreased crime and decreased social isolation.'

Zoning reform: the healthy choice.

'In the past, zoning has restricted different housing typologies to be built, and therefore, unintentionally limited choices, and kept low-income populations from certain neighbourhoods.'

Great article from Jason Syvixay in the Edmonton Journal
