gcvsa ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭<p>Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but before we bother building more trains, we need to build more mixed-use apartment buildings in town and city centers. No point in trains if there aren't concentrations of populations to use them. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/planning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>planning</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transit</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transportation</span></a></p>

Ned Yeung<p>This is what passes for a bus stop in Edmonton. Yes, you have to wait standing in that mud hole or the bus won't stop.</p><p>Where we're standing now? That's the only multi-use active transportation path that seems to go anywhere in the west end (and even then, it ends at 163 St when all the businesses are on 170 St and on).</p><p>As such, it is a heavily-used path which only becomes unused during a forced "off-season" when maintenance is neglected to the point of making it unusable, and users are forced onto the street where they are often run off the road by aggressive drivers.</p><p>The road the cars are driving on? Huge 4-lane road which even during rush hour has mostly empty space but traffic drives so fast and aggressively (with no traffic calming whatsoever), that it is very difficult for active transportation to get in, which they must do (or find a completely different route altogether) during the many long months when the heavily-used MUP is left unusable.</p><p>Even though there is SO much empty space on this road, if traffic gets slowed down for a split second (which generally only happens when somebody is turning left, and through traffic passes beside them), the horns come out on FULL BLAST. Tons of aggression and road rage on this street, largely contributed to by the autocentric "stroad" design.</p><p>This is a classic example of infrastructure and maintenance designed to force an end of active transportation supposedly by concentrating on automobile traffic, except that this focus on cars gives no actual benefit to them, except to make them feel more privileged.</p><p>Note: Despite its looks, this road is more dangerous for the drivers than others. I have seen so many near crashes on it when I used to use it regularly. The road is wide and straight, but that just means people can't get their foot off the gas.</p><p>Although they take their anger out on the rest of us, it's the people driving on the road who are most at risk. Driving does NOT make you safer.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yegbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegbike</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transit</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/publictransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publictransport</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/activetransportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activetransportation</span></a></p>

Ned Yeung<p>These topics have come up today from several directions, so I want to touch on some things going on with the Edmonton Transit Service, issues which are all being addressed by their union, ATU local 569 (Amalgamated Transit Union).</p><p>First off, under ministerial directive by the UCP's Public Safety Minister, Mike Ellis, the city is being told to hand over their Transit Peace Officers to the Edmonton Police Service to tackle fentanyl. Not only is this FAR outside of the duties they signed up for, but this kind of police work will ruin our transit officers in their mental capacity to peacefully deal with the public on a daily basis, training them to work through prejudice, profiling, discrimination, and violence. Public transit needs to remain safe for our vulnerable communities, and this move by the Alberta government will put them at risk.</p><p><a href="https://atu569.ca/is-eps-running-the-peace-officers/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">atu569.ca/is-eps-running-the-p</span><span class="invisible">eace-officers/</span></a></p><p>The ATU is currently in bargaining with the city, and 98% of members who voted said they are ready to strike. That accounts for about 70% of the total membership. If mediation fails, transit will strike.</p><p>They won't strike until mediation fails, but that means they're past the point where negotiations have stalled. Their collective agreement expired over a year ago, and the ATU had to take the city to the Labour Relations Board to get them to the table.</p><p>Over the past many years, I have overheard many complaints from ETS drivers, and seen how it has affected their work and the effects it has on the public. Although technically the negotiations are stalled on wage discrepancies, but that's all tied in with the work required. Foremost on complaints I've heard are impossible schedules to keep, making the buses "always late", giving the drivers no time for breaks, and causing them to rush and speed.</p><p>One of the union's proposals included the conversion of CSOs (Community Service Operators) to Transit Operators. That would increase staffing for drivers, and alleviate a lot of these problems. At the cost of more staffing expenses, of course.</p><p><a href="https://atu569.ca/strike-ready/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">atu569.ca/strike-ready/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>My family and I are continuing to see issues arise from pressured transit drivers. In my opinion, I feel they need to be better informed about their labour rights, and refuse unsafe mandates. If they feel pressured with their schedule then rather than rushing on the road and putting the public in danger, they should be taking grievances to their union representative, and quiet quitting when they feel under pressure. That would show solidarity and force collective action on their employer.</p><p>That's just my thought, but without question our transit system is grossly underfunded, and that needs to change! The better we make our transit system, the more use it will see, and that saves money for ALL TAXPAYERS IN EDMONTON.</p><p>Nearly all the infrastructure costs for transportation in Edmonton arises from the rampant dependency on automobiles, and at the same time most of the greatest dangers from living in the city arise from the same dependency, and the lack of safe infrastructure for any other transportation.</p><p>The more people feel safe and accommodated to use transit, the less we have to pay for people's entitlement to drive around in grossly inefficient automobiles which cost taxpayers billions to support, and causes great traffic congestion, making it difficult for people to move around the city and blocking essential logistics like trucking and emergency services (and of course, efficient mass transit).</p><p>Being accommodated by transit includes sufficient service to get them to their destinations reliably and efficiently, along with personal safety and accessibility concerns. These personal safety concerns disappear on their own through increased usage of transit though. North America, the most transit-adverse space in the world, is unique in its prejudice against transit as "unsafe due to undesirables". Where transit is accessible and used, this is not a concern. It is our underfunding of transit as a service and our creation of a transit-adverse culture, which has created the problem of safety on transit.</p><p>So I beg the City of Edmonton. Fund transit service, fund transit staffing, pay their damn wages, open the budget, and make this city a SAFE place for everyone.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yegbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegbike</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unionstrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unionstrong</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/publictransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publictransport</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transit</span></a></p>

Adrianna Tan<p>I just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this. </p><p>You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)</p><p>For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail. </p><p>Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown. </p><p>If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door.
