@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialNew Sprawlcast! Calgary city hall is trying to catch up on pedestrian safety while the Alberta government is threatening to rip out bike lanes. We look at all of this—and more.
@thatheatherc.bsky.socialReposted by @sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialI'm a PHEV car driver, an infrequent cyclist, a transit rider (bus & Ctrain), and a regular pedestrian. I'm a 6 ft tall Black woman who dresses like a tropical drink - highly visible. I'm an authoritative walker - I know how to cross a busy street, confidently. I risk my life walking in Calgary.🚶🏾♀️
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialIndeed! We did a whole Sprawlcast looking disappearance of that bridge (and what it says about infrastructure on west side of Deerfoot vs east)
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialA decade ago, Calgary city council approved a new pedestrian strategy that aimed to dramatically reduce carnage on city streets by 2025. Instead the opposite happened. We dig into why—and what comes next. #yyccc

@manaboutcowtown.bsky.socialReposted by @sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialHappy for Jeremy and all associated with The Sprawl! In addition to being a much needed journalistic voice in Calgary he is a former classmate of mine and I think he does what he does out of caring for the world as a whole. And we need those types right now. Support The Sprawl if you can.
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialThe Sprawl is now 9! 🎂 And on Thursday night we were named Alberta Magazine of the Year. To celebrate we are aiming to get 90 new members by the end of Sept!
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialToday we published a tribute to beloved Calgary historian Harry Sanders. “He always had a story about the people that made the place.”
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialThanks for sharing the story and the broadcast info! 📻
@sprawlcalgary.bsky.socialGlad you enjoyed it Brett!
