My latest creation: a floppy disk fabric piece to repair my husband's couch quilt. I had a very delightful experience making it, more than I expected. Yay for the sewing arts! 😀

Was waiting for my next #yegTransit connection for 15 minutes. No one tapped off their ARC card after leaving the LRT. Only 7 of 30 tapped on coming in. The scanner location makes it so easy to ignore. Would having fare gates fix this, to help with both getting revenue and proper ridership stats?

I lost 4 of my scrunchies so I used the extra hem from a pants I trifted to make a new one. 😅 #Upcycling

A 15-minute neighbourhood means the husband & I walked to The Italian Centre, get some small produce for meal prep, and discover cool pasta sauce for dinner tonight. Always a great selection of Canadian and Italian products and we're able to stay #ElbowsUp!

Procrastination finally defeated!😅
Finally emailed a compilation of the resident concerns I gathered during the @GiselleForYegCC campaign to the new Councillor & Mayor, like I did in 2021.
Hopefully these concerns get addressed by the new city council! #yegCC

#yegTransit story today: A beggar by my bus stop made a specific request- $ for his ARC card so he can travel without bus drivers denying him or getting ticketed by police.
At the machine by South Campus LRT, I did.
He's so happy that he could travel til his next AISH payment.

Visited the newly opened O-day'min Park at night. So far not too bad! Hopefully it gets well-used and well-maintained this winter as it will be the test run on whether it properly serves Edmontonians all-year.
PS: making out by the swings is pretty fun. 😅

Today's 5🌟 #yegTransit review:
My AM/ PM rush hour buses and LRT is on time!
Re-filling my ARC card was a breeze.
The classical music is back at Corona Station & pedway is clean.
I filed a 311 report for a trash bin for a new bus stop, the ticket was opened promptly!

Call me a bit old fashioned but I love getting the print neighborhood newsletter! 🥰
Here in mine we get them 5x a year. In my former neighborhood the husband and I volunteered to help make it! If yours don't have one, volunteer to help make it. 👍🏼

My first #yegTransit review post-election.
The LRT was on time, the buses I took were only 2 mins late.
All audio announcements for upcoming stops were working!
Despite the detour, my AM rush hour commute was on time!
Corona Station doesn't have the classical music anymore.

While cycling my husband flagged that since Wellington Bridge closed, cars are short-cutting & driving too fast on this back alley by 132 St to get to Glenora Cres. Vert dangerous!
Temporary speed bumps can help divert back onto 104 Ave. #yegCC #yegConstruction #yegBike

To my fellow non-winning candidates: what did you do with your data?
I’ll be compiling and sharing mine again like in 2021.
I think community voices should still inform decisions, so I'd love to know the actual Canadian political norms about this!
