When I think about DRIVING in Meyonohk, I think:

Hanna4 months agoA shared use path could narrow the road and provide transport options for pedestrians/cyclists, increasing safety and accessibility.
I'd advocate for shared use paths on all of the main corridor roads that are excessively wide. Those roads allow speeding, and make it difficult for safe pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, the neighbourhood is ultra reliant on cars even though the city is advocating for active transport and mass transit. Neighbourhood renewal should concentrate on improving accessibility and safety.
0 comment4No4 months agoPrioritize DRIVERS, not bus routes, bike lanes, or pedestrians.
Millwoods is already difficult to drive through just to get to work. We need wider roads, no bike lanes, and more crosswalks with lights for people walking. Nothing more. We don't want your climate policy 15 minute cities that stop us from driving around freely in a timely manner. Drivers literally drive the economy. Everything else is secondary to keeping roads safe and repaired for the drivers that pay to use them.

Narrow roads will create accidents

There are a number of houses along Millwoods road with garages that cannot be accessed from Millwoods Road. I wonder why this was restricted? In fact the garages have doors that face inward to the yard, instead of outward to the street, making them impossible to be used for vehicles. Will adding driveway access to these properties be considered in the revitalization process? I would like to hear rationale for not doing this.
0 comment1Servant4 months agoRoad Space for Snow Clearing
Much existing on-street parking is especially needed when condominium complexes clear snow on their own parking lots, and require residents to park elsewhere. Wide lanes provide space for snow windrows created by snow plows. Wide lanes are not unsafe, but rather, drivers that speed and pay less attention to the road are unsafe.

Vic4 months agoCommit to proper bike lane infrastructure, or do not support bike lanes.
Millwoods road actually has bike lane symbols on the road, but these have never been maintained and are completely worn down due to cars driving in the lane. In fact, the street is used as a two lane drive frequently. I also would not dare to ride on the street as the traffic is very fast here. I would prefer to ride on the sidewalk for my own safety. This kind of defeats the purpose of a bike lane. I would like to say that if the city is going to add bike lanes as an afterthought to the neighborhood design, as they did here, and as they have done downtown, then the city needs to come up with better ideas. Dedicated bike/walking lanes would be used by more people. For example, the black tarmac paved lanes along the South side of 28th Ave, and along 91st Ave would be the preferred way to support bike lanes for cyclists.
1 comment1laoshulaoshi4 months agoThere is no protected bike infrastructure at all. Narrow the roads, remove on-street parking, and add protected bike lanes everywhere.
Protected bike lanes needed!

TerWhar3 months agoPlease add more trash bins on main corridor and at path intersections
Since the ETS bus route changed, all the garbage cans were removed with the bus stops. Dog walkers need more bins available
0 comment0laoshulaoshi4 months agoSidewalks are too narrow and too close to car traffic. Remove on-street parking, narrow roads, use space for wider sidewalks and boulevards.
0 comment2Servant4 months agoThe general lack of need for changes
I like the existing width, design, and layout of sidewalks in the Meyonokh neighborhood. I am happy with the existing design and layout of the Meyonokh neighborhood, in general.
0 comment1Vic4 months agoPublic Safety
I have to comment on safety in the neighborhood. We have lived here for 20 years and in the last few years I have seen an increase in petty crime. I am not sure if this is related to the new LRT line, but we see more homeless people roaming the neighborhood and have had two locked bicycles stolen from our backyard this year. I would like to stress to the City of Edmonton that homelessness and associated drug use and crime is growing and citizens are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with public spaces. PLEASE invest funds in helping the homeless. Until this improves you can revitalize the city as much as you like, but citizens will not be comfortable using these public spaces.
0 comment1Vic4 months agoSidewalk replacement costs are shared 50/50 with property owners
I worry about the cost of replacing the sidewalks in front of my house. I think people need to be aware that our property taxes do not cover the costs for this repair and that citizens share the cost 50/50. That the average cost for a typical 15.24m (50ft) lot is $3,025.44, or one can amortize it over 20 years and end up paying $5,160.20. I was shocked to learn this and I think other property owners will also be shocked. When I think about walking in my neighborhood, I cannot help thinking about how much this repair is going to cost me. The costs of everything have increased substantially in the past several years, how do you expect citizens to continue covering these costs?

Vic4 months agoPlaygrounds, picnic areas, water features
I would love to see updated playgrounds in the neighborhood parks. It is also nice to have water features in the summer so that citizens can cool off on the hot days. Many of the playgrounds are old, dated, and in disrepair. We have started driving to newer neighborhoods to use their parks due to this. If you want a welcoming neighborhood, adding public amenities that attract people and families would be beneficial.
0 comment0Vic4 months agoMillwoods Park
We have a beautiful park in the heart of Millwoods, but in the last few years it seems like the city reduced the level of maintenance and upkeep for this park. The last time I was there there was litter scattered all over the park, and in the pond. It was disheartening to see mess everywhere.
