    A four-way stop, a train — and a south Edmonton community trapped by traffic

    What happens when Edmonton’s new neighbourhoods grow, and the city tries to manage traffic safety? For residents in the Maple Crest community, they were met with massive delays. The city put a new four-way stop on one of the only ways out of the neighbourhood, increasing a five minute commute to 45 minutes. But how did that happen? How can we design new communities better so they can grow with their residents and not create more traffic trouble in the city?

    Follow the helpers: How you can watch Edmonton's crisis diversion team in action

    There’s a team in Edmonton that responds to crisis calls from across the city and meets people where they’re at. And yes, that does make them sound like superheroes. But now you can watch them in action. The 24/7 Crisis Diversion Dashboard is an animated map created by a partnership of agencies, that shows where and when people in our city call for help, and how the team gets them what they need. Kelly Husack, director of community initiatives with Reach Edmonton, joins Clare to talk about how this system works, and why they wanted the public to see their work play out.

    Could we actually say goodbye to Edmonton’s High Level Bridge?

    Edmonton’s bridges are getting old. Now, the City of Edmonton wants to look at decommissioning and replacing a bunch of bridges in the core, including the iconic High Level and Low Level bridges.

We’ll find out what we might be losing and gaining when we sit down with local heritage nerd Dan Rose.

    What is a restrictive covenant and why do some Edmonton neighbourhoods want them?

    There’s a new era in the city’s infill debates – restrictive covenants.

    So, we need to talk about Alberta separatism

    You really can’t avoid talking about Alberta separatism these days, but the conversation just keeps getting more complicated.

Host Clare Bonnyman sits down with John B. Santos, a data scientist with Janet Brown Opinion Research, to go through the results of a poll CBC commissioned this spring.

    Finding out when and why Edmonton police use Tasers isn’t as easy as you’d think

    Hundreds of people are Tased by the Edmonton Police Service every year, and that number is rising steadily year over year. But how do we know who is being Tased, and why? It turns out that getting that information isn’t as easy as you might think. CBC Edmonton investigative reporter Taylor Lambert sits down with host Clare Bonnyman to discuss the process of obtaining this data — and why these numbers matter when it comes to police enforcement.
