THIS WEEK IN EDMONTON

  • It’s the last week of Council's summer break, and there will be just one short meeting at City Hall. The Agenda Review Committee will meet tomorrow at 9:00 am. Next week, Council business will resume in full.
  • Starting on Thursday, Edmonton Folk Music Festival returns to Gallagher Park. Staffed by 2,500 dedicated volunteers, the festival offers eight stages with musical artists from around the world, as well as food and beverage vendors. Tickets are sold out, but the festival has partnered with Lyte, an official method of exchanging tickets, if you still need a ticket, or have one to sell.
  • The City of Edmonton is looking for feedback on non-LRT mass transit approaches as part of its “Mass Transit: Implementing for 1.25 Million People” initiative. The City Plan lays out a vision where 50% of all trips within the city are made by transit or active transportation. Should the City really be dictating what method of transport people will use? We'd prefer to let people figure that out for themselves, and have the City focus on meeting demand, not trying to change it.
