So between the hours of 7:30-21:00, this will have exactly 0 impact on me 99% of the time. Outside of those hours, meh, I probably rarely go over 40 km/hr on that road anyways.

Yeah, I’m willing to put myself as purely complaining for the sake of complaining here. I can’t even think of a road around me where this will matter. Maybe it’s Covid and such making me more irritable, because I don’t actually care that much but despite that thought I should post anyway.

I think it won't matter because for the most part the areas that could see a benefit will never see enforcement.

A couple years ago there was talk of having a parking violation narc app where people can take pics of parking violations they see that could lead to a ticket.
I was so ready to nail all the damn cars blockign the alley near my place for a quick timmies run.

Or vehicles that don't zipper merge that block you from getting into a turning lane.

Or drivers can shoot paintballs at pedestrians who stand at street corners with no intention of crossing

Have issues with it because it’s a Wenzel or because it’s not in her ward? Or am I just missing something?
She’s right next door and oversees a ward with its own emerging communities in the Deep South so I’m not sure it’s really out there for her to be “advertising” the area.

Empty office space downtown, bad.

‘Paired homes’. It’s a ####ing duplex, one you’ll be in for damn near half a million because you’re going to want the granite to distract you from your misery.
Also, someone more educated in the issue that me...isn’t that whole area floodplain? Really wish we’d think long term health of the ecosystem a little more.

Farkas' flyer is hilarious. The entire premise is he is saying "yes" to things, but has a councilor ever voted no to more things than Farkas? Got one from Gondek, and it's pages long with actual information.

I’m probably voting for Gondek, but truthfully the flyer I received had zero in terms of information.

Farrell's announcement means that six of Calgary's 14 wards will not have incumbents in the race this fall.
wow. that's huge for turnover.
wonder if a full slate of UCP backed candidates will be running, to take over the city.

I like the new Ward 3 candidate, Jasmine Mian. They seem to be similar to Gondek.
