    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.

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.
